Four people injured as authorities investigate depot explosions
A series of explosions at an army weapons depot near Al-Eis in Aleppo province injured four people, Syria’s emergency ministry said. Rescue workers helped residents leave nearby homes, closed access roads and began clearing unexploded projectiles. Authorities had not established a cause. Reuters counted this as Syria’s fourth military-storage explosion in September and at least the 16th since December 2024; previously reported causes have varied, so the pattern does not establish a common explanation.
