Series of explosions heard near Aleppo in northern Syria
Several such blasts have occurred across the nation, which is emerging from a decade-long civil war after Bashar al-Assad was toppled in late 2024.
A powerful explosion shook the Aleppo countryside in northern Syria on Monday morning, followed by a series of blasts, according to state media reports. The cause of the explosions remains unclear. Aleppo's civil defense chief, Faisal Mohammad Ali, stated that the ongoing blasts are obstructing access to emergency services and cautioned civilians against approaching the affected areas.
Prior blasts in Syria have resulted in casualties. In Deir Ezzor province, an unexplained explosion killed 11 individuals at a military facility on Friday. Earlier this month, another explosion at a weapons depot in Idlib province claimed the lives of 14 people and injured 11 others. Just over a week ago, five people were killed when a munitions-laden vehicle detonated in the same region.
