On January 26, 2025, a man, identified as Abboud Ramadan al-Ibeid, was killed, while another, identified as Eisa Jasim al-Ibeid, was injured by the explosion of a projectile war remnant of unidentified source, while they were putting it in a stove in Jdeed Ekidat town in eastern Deir Ez-Zour governorate. The area is under the control of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
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. We have also recorded the use of anti-personnel landmines (APLs) by Assad regime forces, posing a serious threat to anyone in the vicinity, especially children, for years to come. We have recorded hundreds of injuries that resulted from cluster munition remnants. The international community must intervene to protect the civilians in Syria from such lethal dangers.
