20 killed after clashes erupted in Syria’s Daraa province

At least 20 people were killed in clashes Sunday in Syria’s Daraa province a day after an explosion killed a group of children, a monitor said.

Daraa was the cradle of the 2011 uprising against President Bashar al-Assad but it returned to government control in 2018 under a ceasefire deal backed by Russia.

The southern province has since been plagued by unrest.
