IRIB: "Toy bomb blast kills 5 Pak children"--that's what it says . . .

Could that mean a real bomb that was being used as a toy? Who knows:
At least five school children were killed when a toy bomb, they were playing, exploded in Pakistan's administered Kashmir, TV channels reported.

The blast took place when the children found the device in farms near their school in Neelam valley, near the line of control (LOC), which divides Pakistan and India in the disputed Kashmir region, TV channels reported.

Three sisters are among those killed in the blast.

According to the report the girls were injured in the blast, who later died in a military hospital in the region.

Witnesses said they saw Pakistani soldiers searching the farms to find any such devices.
Update: A site called newKerala.com describes it as a "toy-shaped bomb." Wow.
