Three civilians (one man and his two children) died in an airstrike on Jassem, according to local sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.

Shaam News Network reported three deaths – “a father and his two children” – and blamed Russia. It also said one person was injured: “the sister of the PM in Assad’s government Wael Al Halki was injured. She lives in the town of Jaseem.”

Al Jazeera also said that Russia was responsible – though some other sources didn’t say who carried out the raids.

Syrianpc News – which blamed Russia – named the three victims.

The VDC also named these victims but said they died in regime shelling. Some sources claim the victims were from Ankhel, Dara’a, while others claimed they were from Jassem, Dara’a.
