> It killed and injured more than 3 thousand people, including children.

Well the number of killed versus injured is significant and not mentioned. The mention of children is bundled with the large figure. It could be interpreted that 3000 people were killed, 2900 of which are children, which is exactly how it will be quoted and portrayed.

This is pretty irresponsible use of language.

Check headlines and how this is portrayed and compare the statistical figures mentioned. Also who is being quoted and if they are in quotes or how they are quoted. There's a lot of ambiguity.

In times of war, which this unfortunately is, irresponsible reporting is dangerous and leads to further problems.
