A landmine of unknown source exploded near a crane belonging to the Syrian Civil Defense in Koulyan Tahtani village which is administratively a part of Afrin city in the northern suburbs of Aleppo governorate on November 3, 2021 while the SCD team was responding to a car accident in the village. The explosion caused the injury of two SCD personnel and damage to the vehicle. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, and to conduct investigations into all such incidents and reveal their findings to the public. Stability will not be achieved in Syria without achieving a political transition towards democracy implemented according to a strict timetable.
