According to the Violations Documentation Center and Al Qaryatayn, one adult male named was killed in an alleged Russian airstrike on Khnefes near Palmyra.
His Facebook martyr’s page noted: “We celebrate the life of the martyr Khaled Saleh Al Darweesh [Al Arabiya], Abou Sleiman, who died on Friday following the oppressive Russian planes raids on the area of Khnefes. We ask God to give him mercy and forgiveness.”
However, pro-Assad media reported that regime aircraft carried out an attack on “the fortifications and equipment of Daesh terrorists” at Knefes.
