Footage emerges of Syria airstrike

Amateur footage shows the moment a Syrian Air Force jet bombs the town of Yabroud, and the aftermath of another attack in nearby Douma. Amateur footage showed the aircraft dropping bombs on a residential area, said to be the town of Yabroud, which lies about 80km (49 miles) north of Damascus. The footage cannot be independently verified. The munitions could be seen falling to the ground and seconds a large explosion sends a fireball shooting into the sky. Homes and shops in the area appeared to have suffered serious damage, although it is unclear if there were any casualties. The video also showed damage to buildings in the nearby town of Douma, with dazed children being rescued from the ruins of their homes.
