Urgency: High · Evidence: Primary source
OCHA reports that 12 explosive-ordnance incidents across six Syrian governorates during the previous week killed nine people, including six children, and injured 13. It says more than 1,400 incidents since December 2024 have caused nearly 2,500 civilian casualties, including 880 deaths.
What the sources establish
OCHA is the authoritative primary source for this public-safety warning and its partner-compiled aggregate. The Siasat Daily reports the same OCHA figures but does not independently validate the individual incidents or exact toll, so the casualty aggregate remains single-source to OCHA. Publication is justified under the authoritative, time-sensitive public-safety exception; the exact aggregate remains OCHA's assessment. The OCHA page gives only a 4 September date, so noon UTC is representative. The country-level marker and summary omit incident sites, routes and other tactical detail, and no community identity is inferred from the affected governorates.
