At least four people were injured in powerful explosions at a weapons depot in northern Syria, state media reported, as officials urged the public to avoid the area.
The blasts erupted early Monday at a Syrian military site near the town of al-Eis, south of Aleppo, according to the state-run SANA news agency.
The cause of the blasts remains unclear.
Faisal Mohammad Ali, head of Aleppo’s civil defence operations, told SANA that rescuers evacuated four injured individuals from the site. He stated that the “continuing explosions” were hindering emergency access and urged civilians to stay away.
Aleppo Governor Azzam al-Gharib urged residents to remain indoors for the time being, noting that hospitals, ambulances, and emergency teams are on high alert.
Roads leading to the site were closed to ensure civilian safety, Aleppo’s Internal Security Command stated.
