It was reported that nine female farmers died when remains of cluster bombs allegedly fired by Russia exploded.
Al Jisr TV also reported this information, but said this occurred in Kafr Hamra – which is possibly a mistake.
Because of near-identical copy by all media, this is presently classed as a weakly reported incident.
