Raqqa floods move landmines from their sites to homes' doorsteps in Abu al-Husnan

Raqqa, Syria ·

Heavy rains and floods in the Raqqa countryside have shifted landmines and other war remnants from their known locations into areas previously considered safe, reaching near homes, grazing land and roads residents use. Residents are calling for urgent action to locate and clear the explosives.

Raqqa was held by the Islamic State group for several years before a Kurdish-led force took control of the city in 2017, and fighting in the province left many unexploded munitions.
