An explosion at an ammunition warehouse in Sarmada, Syria killed 39 people, including 12 children.

The building housed an illegal ammunition warehouse belonging to arms dealers. According to the Human Rights Monitoring Center in Syria, based in London, dozens of people currently remain under the rubble.

Bulldozers are helping to clear up the mess.

At this moment, the Idlib region, where Sarmada is located, is the last one still controlled by the Syrian rebels.
