My guess is that body parts were everywhere.

“What is so shocking is that people’s lives, people’s belongings are spread out across their lawns. They have been blown out of their houses by the explosives.”

It will happen when terrorists, militants, or militias attack civilian areas, when a government attacks civilian area in a counterinsurgency operation like Gaza, and when two major combatants like NATO/Ukraine and Russia engage in war. COIN is every bit as ruthless as terrorism or insurgency since the governments have more resources. US killed 3x as many Iraqis in its 10-year occupation of Iraq as Saddam Hussein in 30 years. Civilians are fair game under COIN since the assumption is that militias are supported by the local economy.
