Idlib province: SOHR sources have reported that a large fire broke out in Samdoun camp near Hayr Jamous village in Salqin countryside, after a gas cylinder exploded in a car near a tent in the camp. The fire extended to other tents, devouring over 20 tents. Moreover, two civilians sustained light burns due to the fire, while over 20 families have become homeless.
