A boy, identified as nine-year-old Adnan Ahmad al-Salama, was killed on April 27, 2024, by the explosion of a war remnant of as-yet unidentified source, while another boy, identified as eight-year-old Fawwaz al-Salem was injured in the same explosion. The explosion occurred while the two were herding sheep in their home village of Tabiya Jazira in eastern rural Deir Ez-Zour governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that war remnants continue to pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives. We have released numerous reports on cluster munitions and other war remnants, calling for securing equipment to help local residents to safely dispose of the various explosive remnants.
