Munitions explosion kills at least seven in Syria

A minimum of seven civilians including a woman and child have been killed when unexploded munitions exploded at a house in the northwest of Syria, according to a war monitor, Al-Monitor via AFP reported on February 20th.

The lethal blast was reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights a day after a different organisation said two out of three Syrians are in danger of being killed or getting wounded by unexploded ordnance.

The Observatory said: “Seven civilians, including a woman and a child, were killed when leftover munitions stored inside a house” in the Idlib province exploded.
