One killed, several wounded in mine blasts in Syria
At least one civilian has been killed and several others have been wounded in mine explosions in Syria’s Aleppo and Hasakah provinces, state media say.
Official news agency SANA reported on Saturday that a mine left behind by terrorists went off when a vehicle passed over it near Manasher in the western outskirts of Aleppo City earlier in the day.
It added that the blast killed a civilian and wounded several others.
In a separate incident on Saturday, two civilians, including a child, were wounded after a mine exploded in the vicinity of Remelan al-Basha Village school, in northeastern Hasakah, SANA reported, adding that the 10-year-old child was critically injured.
It further said that the mine had been planted by militants of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a US-backed alliance of Kurdish militants operating against Damascus.
The US, in collusion with the SDF, controls most of the oil fields in al-Jazira in Hasakah. Over the past months, thousands of trucks carrying weapons and military and logistical equipment have entered the region.
The US forces in the province and SDF are believed to be pillaging the Arab country’s oil and mineral resources.
In August, Syria strongly condemned an agreement signed between the SDF and an American oil company aimed at stealing the country’s oil, stressing that Damascus considers the contract null and void with no legal effect.
