Five civilians have been killed and more than a dozen wounded in a mine blast in Syria’s west-central province of Hama.

Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that the explosion of the anti-tank mine, left behind by Takfiri terrorists, occurred on Saturday, when a vehicle, transporting a number of civilians, was crossing during the harvest of truffles in Rasm al-Ahmar village of Salamya countryside.

A police source told SANA that two of the 13 injured people are in critical condition.

The deadly explosion came just a day after three civilians lost their lives in a similar incident in the farms of Salamya.

Separately on Saturday, Syria’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources said in a statement that al-Jabsa-al-Rayyan gas pipeline had been attacked in Abu Khashab area in the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr.
