What is the meaning of the Arabic word دوت in the sentence دوت انفجارات في دمشق?
In www.bbc.co.uk/Arabic they have been reporting recent missile strikes against Syria with this word, which I can't find. Is it a spelling mistake?
Thanks
Update:And what is the root of the word (in the way kaf ta ba is the root of مكتبة?)

No spelling mistakes no, dawwat is a word that describes the sound of bullets or bombs or anything that is very loud, like thunder.
Its root is dawwa دَوَّى
It means "explosions were heard".
It is pronounced "dawwat". And no it's not a spelling mistake.
It's the action of the laud sound bursting and being heard widely.
