Pages on social media platforms circulated a report claiming that an explosion was caused by an explosive device that targeted an overnight bus in the town of Kafr Sajna in the Idlib countryside, causing material damage without any human casualties.
Kashaf’s team contacted an official source at the Idlib Media Directorate to verify the authenticity of the circulating post. The source confirmed that the incident did indeed take place in the town of Kafr Sajna, but categorically denied that the explosion was caused by an explosive device or any act of sabotage, explaining that the incident was limited to minor material damage with no injuries recorded among civilians.
Why is this claim misleading?
Incorrect connection: The causes of the explosion in the bus go back to the burning of its internal battery, and not to a premeditated attack or the planting of an explosive device as the pages promoted.
