A child from al Keshkiya Village east of Deir Ez-Zour Governorate, named as Dyaa Muhammad Ali al Rajab, died on January 15, 2022, due to the explosion of a landmine of an unidentified source near the graveyard east of the city, which is controlled by the Syrian Regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses and survivors to obtain more details of the incident.
We call on the governing forces in every area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control and to search and reveal the locations of landmines and remove them. We have recorded hundreds of deaths and injuries due to mines’ explosions, which forms a grave threat to the residents of these regions for many years, especially the children.
