DAMASCUS, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The explosion of a landmine killed two children in the central Syrian city of Palmyra on Tuesday, state news agency SANA reported.

The landmine that killed the two brothers was left by the Islamic State (IS) militants who had been in control of the area during the Syrian war, SANA said.

It's the latest reported casualty in landmine explosions in Syria.

Landmines have killed dozens in the formerly rebel-held areas amid government-led efforts to remove them for the safety of civilians. Enditem
