Damascus, November 09, 2026 : A Syrian soldier was killed and another seriously injured when a landmine exploded during an operation to clear explosive remnants of war in the Al-Mayadeen area of eastern Deir ez-Zor countryside, according to the Media and Communications Department at Syria's Ministry of Defense.
Separately, three civilians were injured in two landmine explosions in the Daraa countryside on Saturday.
The first incident occurred when two young men were collecting stones in the plains between Inkhil and Al-Sanamayn. The second explosion struck a vehicle in the Al-Lajat area, east of the province.
Explosive remnants of war continue to cause casualties across Syria. Late last October, six explosions killed seven people, including three children, and injured 11 others.
