Damascus, November 07 (QNA) - A Syrian military personnel was killed, and another was grievously wounded when a land mine exploded as they were operating to dismantle explosive remnants of war (ERW) in the Al-Mayadeen area of eastern Deir ez-Zor countryside, according to Syria's Media and Communications Department at the Defense Ministry.
Three civilians were wounded in two separate land-mine explosions in Daraa countryside Saturday. The first blast occurred as two young men were collecting stones in the plains between the cities of Inkhil and Al-Sanamayn, while the second struck a car in the Al-Lajat area east of the province.
ERWs continue to claim lives across Syria, with seven people, including three children, killed and 11 others wounded in six blasts late last October.
The Defense Ministry also announced that two soldiers were killed when a land mine exploded in Daraa countryside on Nov. 4. (QNA)
