Landmine and War Remnant Blasts Kill Children in Hasakah Countryside
A 12-year-old boy died and two children were wounded in a landmine blast in Umm al-Kaif village, Tal Tamr countryside, while a student died in an explosion inside a school in Abu Rasin, Hasakah. UNICEF says explosive remnants killed 22 children and injured 49 across Syria in Q3 2026; floods near Palmyra also exposed a previously hidden minefield.
In detail
North Press, Al-Ikhbariya and Google News reported on landmines and war remnants plaguing Hasakah countryside, naming a 12-year-old victim killed near Tal Tamr after returning from displacement, and a separate fatal school blast in Abu Rasin that prompted official warnings about explosive risks to children. Levant24 separately reported that flash floods near Palmyra uncovered a previously hidden minefield at Mreir Artesian, endangering civilians and herders. UNICEF's quarterly figures (22 children killed, 49 injured) underline the scale of the crisis, which UNICEF also linked to disrupted water/sanitation infrastructure. Local residents say mines block access to farmland and grazing, deepening economic hardship.
