Two children were locally reported killed when a bomb exploded in the town of Hayan, Aleppo Governorate.
According to the Syrian Civil Defence, the cluster bomb that exploded was allegedly a remnant of earlier airstrikes, for which multiple sources blame Russian warplanes. The victims, two young brothers, were named as Firas Amor Orso and Amor Ahmed Orso.
It is unclear when the munition was initially dropped, though sources reported the explosion of the remnants on May 6th 2018.
