(VOI) - Eight persons, from the same family, were killed and another was injured on Thursday by a missile explosion in the south of Nassiriya, the director of the media of the Thi-Qar police said. "Nine family members were trying to build a house in a deserted region, south of Nassiriya, when a missile exploded while they were digging up the land, killing eight and injuring the ninth," Colonel Sadeq al-Mesrefawi told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI). "The bodies and the wounded were sent to the al-Hussein public hospital in central Nassiriya," he noted.

#2  Was it really a missile explosion or did their shovels just hit some unexploded ordnance from some war or another, or a forgotten cache?
