SANAA, Jan. 15 (YPA) – Five Syrians, including two children, were killed and six others were injured, on Wednesday, due to the explosion of objects from the remnants of war spread across vast geographical areas of Syrian territory, bringing the death toll from the remnants of war in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime on December 8 to 244, including 102 martyrs and 141 injured.

The Syrian Observatory reported that a Syrian citizen from the village of Al-Buwaytiyah in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor was killed as a result of the explosion of a landmine left over from the Syrian war, while he was herding livestock in the Deir Ezzor desert.
