Syria: Two children killed in mine blast

Damascus, August 2 (Prensa Latina) Two young brothers were killed by a mine blast near the town of Al-Muqabila, northeast of Aleppo province, about 400 kilometers north of Damascus, the Syrian capital.

According to the Syrian Civil Defense, emergency teams responded to the explosion, inspected the area, and transferred the bodies to Aleppo forensic medicine office.

Ammunition and mines left over from the war are among the main threats to the lives of civilians in Syria, hampering the return of displaced people and the recovery of communities.

In early July, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs confirmed that 390 civilians, including more than 100 children, had died in Syria as a result of mine explosion between January 1 and June 30 of this year.

The mote explained that contamination from explosive devices continues to have lethal effects throughout Syria.
