Land mine explosion kills 7 civilians in Syria's Aleppo

DAMASCUS, March 5 (Xinhua) -- At least seven civilians were killed and 14 others wounded on Tuesday by a land mine explosion in Syria's northern Aleppo province, state news agency SANA reported.

The land mine exploded in the town of Maragha in the southern countryside of Aleppo, said the report.

The land mine is from the leftovers of the rebels who were in that area ahead of their defeat.

Bombs left by rebels ahead of their defeat or withdrawal exploded multiple times in some areas of Syria.
