Mine explosion in Shehba kills 13-year-old from Afrin

In a village in the northern Syrian canton of Shehba, a 13-year-old boy from Afrin died and a 16-year-old was injured in the explosion of a mine left behind by the ISIS.

A mine left by ISIS in the canton of Shehba, formerly occupied by the so-called Islamic State, has exploded in the village of Ahdath in the district of Fafin.

The mine explosion left a 13-year-old boy from Afrin dead and a 16-year-old wounded.

13-year-old Rodi Rashid, who was killed by the mine, came from the Turkish-occupied city of Afrin in northern Syria. His family fled to the canton of Shehba after the invasion of Afrin.

Seriously injured Ibish Eli is treated at the Avrîn hospital. His situation remains critical, the doctors said.

Improvised explosive devices planted by ISIS as booby traps in Shehba during their rule in the region are exploding regularly, claiming civilian lives.

Some areas are so heavily mined that it is impossible to enter. A few weeks ago, a mine left behind by the ISIS exploded near the refugee camp which was built for the displaced people of Afrin after the Turkish-Jihad military invasion of the region.
