4 injured following ammunition depot blast in Syria's Aleppo countryside

Authorities said the blasts were the fifth weapons depot explosion this month as investigators examined whether poor storage or sabotage caused the fire.

  • On Monday, powerful explosions struck a Syrian army weapons depot near Al-Eis, south of Aleppo, injuring four people and prompting authorities to close roads to ensure public safety.
  • This incident marks the 16th similar explosion at arms storage facilities since President Bashar was ousted in December 2024, according to a Reuters tally tracking these recurring military depot accidents.
  • Faisal Mohammad Ali, the head of civil defence operations in Aleppo, reported that "continuing explosions" hindered emergency access, while residents described the terror, saying, "It was as if doomsday had come."
  • Aleppo Governor Azzam urged residents to remain indoors, noting that "hospitals, ambulance and emergency teams are on full alert," as Emergency Ministry workers began clearing unexploded projectiles from the site.
  • Authorities have not established the cause, mirroring recent blasts in Idlib and Syria that killed 25 people this month and suggesting systemic vulnerabilities in how military ordnance is stored across the country.
