Munitions vehicle explodes killing five in Idlib
At least five people were killed and several others wounded when a vehicle carrying munitions exploded in Binnish
An explosion in the town of Binnish, located in northwestern Syria's Idlib countryside, claimed at least five lives and injured five others on Tuesday, according to the Idlib Health Directorate and a monitoring group. The explosions caused widespread panic among residents, leading to a swift response from civil defense teams and security personnel.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that successive blasts rocked the town, with military personnel among the injured. The monitoring group, which has been tracking violence in Syria since 2011, stated that rockets and other ammunition appeared to be exploding continuously following the initial blast. Local authorities warned residents to avoid the area due to the risk of further explosions, flying debris, and shrapnel.
Since the collapse of the former Syrian regime led by Bashar al-Assad in 2024, several ammunition and weapons depots in Idlib and Aleppo provinces have been targeted by explosions, with many of these facilities allegedly used by various armed factions.
