A tragic incident involving a landmine has claimed the lives of several children in Somalia’s Galgadud region.
Landmines and unexploded ordnance remain a significant danger in the country, causing numerous casualties each year.
The latest incident underscores the urgent need for continued efforts in mine clearance and public awareness campaigns to prevent such devastating events.
Humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) and various NGOs, have been working tirelessly to address the issue by clearing mines, providing risk education, and supporting victims.
Despite these efforts, the presence of landmines continues to pose a serious threat to civilians, particularly children who are often the most vulnerable.
In today’s incident, three children lost their lives as per the latest reports by local eyewitnesses and authorities.
The children were playing near the explosive device at the time of the incident.
