At least 9 students were wounded when a mine- left behind by terrorist groups- detonated in Bet Jen town in Qatana area in the southwestern countryside of Damascus.
A source at the police command said that the mine exploded as the students were crossing the road that links Bet Jen town and the farm of Bet Jen.
“The wounded students were conveyed to the hospital of Khan Arnabeh town,” the source added.
