The sibling children Yasmin and Abeid Khamis Mustafa, aged 9 and 13 respectively, were killed when a landmine of unknown origin exploded in Badiya of Tadmur city in the eastern suburbs of Homs governorate on August 11, 2020. SNHR is still trying to contact witnesses to obtain more details of the incident.
SNHR calls on the governing forces in each area to bear responsibility for protecting civilians in the areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
