A SANA report published Saturday described three children killed and six injured in separate explosive-ordnance and landmine incidents across Syria.
Incidents in different areas
The incidents included Lataminah in rural Hama, where a munition exploded as children played in a home garden, as well as Khirbet Ghazaleh in Daraa and Um Al-Keif in rural Hasakah. The report dated the Daraa incident to Friday and described hospital care for children hurt in Hama. Arab News
Risk accompanying returns
UNICEF warned in April that families returning to conflict-affected communities may lack clear information about explosive contamination. Children face particular exposure when resuming play and moving through damaged or unfamiliar surroundings. The agency called for expanded risk education in schools, displacement sites and community centres, alongside medical care, rehabilitation and psychosocial support for survivors. This connects prevention with sustained care for injured children, whose needs do not end when emergency treatment is provided. UNICEF Syria
Clearance as a condition for recovery
The UN’s mine-action campaign in Syria links safer ground with restored services and livelihoods. Contaminated areas restrict safe movement and delay recovery and reconstruction; clearance supports safe voluntary returns, reopening businesses and access to education. The campaign therefore treats mine action as part of recovery, involving national authorities, organizations and partners. The task extends beyond responding to one explosion site to making homes, routes and facilities safe to use again. United Nations in Syria
