One child died in a casualty event in Al Baghouz, according to local media.

The Al Sharq al Souri agency reported on November 28th that the victim died from wounds sustained by an artillery shell in the village of Al-Baghouz two days ago.

The Syrian Human Rights Committee also blamed an artillery shell for the child’s death. It didn’t say who was responsible, meaning that the Coalition cannot be ruled out.
