According to multiple local sources, three children died when the remains of a cluster bomb – allegedly earlier dropped by Russia – exploded in the town of Taqad.

However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights, which also said three children died, blamed the regime for originally dropping the cluster bomb. Alarab News reported that “a loud explosion was heard due to an explosion of a bomb thrown earlier but did not explode. There were reports about martyrs and wounded.”
