A shepherd was seriously injured as result of an explosion of a land mine laid by the Turkey-backed mercenary groups in the Sherawa district of Afrin.

According to reports, Mirzan Xelil Hemkalo was seriously injured as a result of the explosion while grazing his sheep between the villages of Aqibê and Basil in Sherawa.

Hemkalo, a resident of the Kurzelê village, is reported to be in critical condition.
