A powerful explosion tore through the Idlib countryside Thursday morning, claiming the lives of at least five civilians and leaving more than 100 others wounded. The blast occurred near the town of Maarrat Misrin in northern Idlib, sending massive fireballs and thick columns of smoke into the sky.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the explosion ripped through an ammunition depot, leading to a series of violent secondary blasts. The incident took place amid the presence of unidentified aircraft flying overhead, with the observatory noting that the death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue.

Al-Saleh emphasized that a final casualty count has not yet been determined, as emergency crews continue their work under hazardous conditions. He urged residents to avoid the area for their own safety, highlighting the difficult and dangerous environment in which rescue teams are operating.
