| | Emergency workers were still searching the wreckage for any injured or dead when the BBC spoke to people on the ground who witnessed the bombardment. "It was the main mosque that got targeted," one man said. "The sky lit up and it felt like the sky turned red." Another said: "A sudden missile appeared and there was a blast. I immediately got out the house. "I had only reached the mosque near my house when there were three more consecutive blasts. I heard all three, they were really loud." |
