Series of explosions heard near Aleppo in northern Syria: state media
A powerful blast resonated at an Aleppo army site in northern Syria on Monday, followed by a series of explosions, according to state media reports. The Syrian state news agency SANA announced an explosion at a Syrian army site near the town of Al-Eis, though the cause remained unknown as authorities probed the incident. Aleppo's civil defense chief, Faisal Mohammad Ali, told the state-run Al-Ikhbariya channel that the ongoing blasts hindered emergency services from reaching the site and cautioned civilians to stay away.
A Hamdaniyeh resident heard a "huge explosion" and observed significant flames from a distance. Governor Azzam al-Gharib appealed for residents to remain indoors, stating that hospitals, ambulances, and emergency teams were fully on alert. Roads leading to the explosion site were closed to guarantee civilian safety. Syria, recovering from over a decade of civil war that concluded in late 2024, has experienced several such blasts.
A Friday explosion near Deir Ezzor killed 11 people, while a weapons depot explosion in Idlib province on the same day claimed 14 lives and injured 11. In Idlib just a week prior, a vehicle carrying munitions exploded, resulting in five fatalities and 30 injuries.
