DAMASCUS, Dec 27 (NNN-SANA) – As many as 241 civilians have been killed in 2021, by landmines and other explosive materials, left in previous war zones across Syria, a war monitor said yesterday.
The number includes 114 children and 19 women, as a result of the explosions, most of which occurred in the first quarter, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Britain-based watchdog called on concerned international organisations, to help remove the war leftovers from Syria, and to raise the awareness of the Syrian people, about the danger of such materials.
It has been reported that, many incidents, in which civilians were killed by landmines, saying, terror groups had planted them in areas they used to control, during the 10-year-long Syrian war.– NNN-SANA
