War Remnants Claim More Victims in Rural Deir Ez-Zour and Daraa

ARK News.. A young man lost his life on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, after a landmine explosion in western Deir Ez-Zour countryside.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the incident occurred in the al-Masrab desert, west of Deir Ez-Zour.

In a separate case, another young man was injured by the detonation of an unexploded ordnance in the town of al-Karak al-Sharqi in eastern Daraa countryside. He was transferred to a hospital for treatment.

Observatory Statistics

The Observatory reported that from the fall of the former regime on December 8, 2024, until 2025, 598 civilians have been killed in explosions caused by remnants of the Syrian war. Among them were 164 children and 41 women. Another 641 people were injured, including 26 children and 17 women.

Ongoing Threat

War remnants remain a daily nightmare for civilians across Syria. Landmines and unexploded ordnance continue to inflict repeated tragedies, particularly among vulnerable groups such as children, farmers, and shepherds, who are often compelled by harsh living conditions to move through contaminated areas.

Despite the end of active battles in some regions, these remnants persist in unpredictable ways that are difficult to control. Each new civilian casualty renews both local and international calls to intensify efforts to protect future generations from this deadly legacy of war.
