Close Call for Activists in Douma as Blast Detonates Metres Away

A dramatic video shared by the volunteer Syrian Civil Defense group on August 18 shows the moment a rocket or shell impacts near to a videographer in the embattled Syrian town of Douma. The video was posted two days after dozens of people, possible over 100, were killed in a government airstrike in the town in an attack condemned by the UN.
