A woman, identified as Shamsa Stouf al-Hajjaj from Ghanma village to the southwest of Jarablos city in eastern Aleppo governorate, was killed by the explosion of a landmine of unidentified source while she was trying to cross the al-Sajour River area near al-Mahsanali village to the northwest of Manbij city in eastern Aleppo governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in areas under their control, and to locate and remove landmines planted in these areas. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which pose a serious, long-term threat, especially to children, that will last for years to come.
