People: No reactions yet Outlets: Strongly negative

Three children were killed by a landmine while herding sheep west of Palmyra in Homs countryside, while two brothers were injured by an explosive remnant near Tel Tamr in Hasakah countryside. Flooding in Raqqa also washed landmines into previously safe areas, threatening residents.

In detail

North Press Agency and Euphrates Post both reported the Palmyra landmine deaths, continuing a story tracked in the previous snapshot. A separate incident near Tel Tamr injured two brothers from an explosive war remnant. North Press also reported flooding near Tel Samen camp in Raqqa washing mines into populated areas, threatening roughly 500 residents including schoolchildren and shepherds, amid displaced persons' complaints about harsh winter conditions, lack of aid, and demands for demining before safe return. These incidents reflect the ongoing danger of unexploded ordnance across former conflict zones.
