Three people were killed and six more were injured when an explosion occurred in a house in Syria’s Idlib province. According to Syrian Civil Defence their initial findings indicate that explosive materials, used for fishing apparently, were being stored in the house and caused the explosion. The dead were a man, his wife and his brother, while six others were injured, including four of the couple’s children. Civil defence also stated the death toll, as of August 21, was preliminary.
