Old ordnance | Landmine explosion leaves two siblings injured in Manbij countryside in eastern Aleppo  

Aleppo province: Two siblings sustained various injuries due to the explosion of an old landmine near a tractor, while they were riding it in Tel Towreen village in western Manbij countryside within SDF-held areas.
The injured civilians were taken to the hospital for treatment.
