Landmine blast kills four girls from one family near Albu Kamal

People: No reactions yet Outlets: Strongly negative

A landmine from war remnants exploded in Muayzila village near Albu Kamal, Deir ez-Zor countryside, on November 2, 2026, killing at least two to four girls (reports vary) from the same family and wounding others. Civil Defense warned flood waters are pushing more unexploded ordnance into populated areas.

In detail

Multiple outlets (Enab Baladi, North Press, Syria TV, Euphrates Post, Halab Today, Shaam News, Syria Plus) reported on the blast, with casualty figures varying between two and four girls killed from the same family (identified by some as the al-Buna'sir/Muhaydi clan), and additional wounded transferred to Deir ez-Zor and Aisha hospitals. The explosion is attributed to war remnants, a longstanding hazard in the eastern countryside. Civil Defense separately warned that recent flooding risks displacing landmines into areas previously considered safe, linking this tragedy to the broader flood narrative. No major public commentary was found specifically on this incident in the sampled posts, though it reflects a recurring grim toll in Deir ez-Zor.
