An unexploded cannon ball shell fired by the occupation forces injured two children in Manbij on Tuesday.

The two children, Mewas Hisên El Mistefa and İyad Mihemed Xêr El Mistefa, suffered injuries after the explosion of a cannon ball shell while grassing sheep to the north of the city.

The children reportedly suffered slight injuries and were taken under treatment.
