Five civilians from the same family were injured on January 3, 2025, by the explosion of a landmine of unidentified source on the outskirts of al-Fteira village in southern rural Idlib governorate. The area is under the control of the current transitional authorities in Syria.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We have recorded hundreds of deaths and injuries from landmine explosions. Landmines pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives for years to come in these areas, particularly children.
