One adult female was killed in an airstrike on Ibta’, according to local sources – though reports were conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the regime.

The VDC named the victim and said she died “in a Jordanian hospital due to her wounds sustained by the regime air forces’ shelling” – though the source does not say which day she died on. LCCSY, Muslim Forum and Syria2011 also named the victim but said she died in a Russian strike.

Other sources including Syria 2011 and Syraifree 339 listed the victim but did not identify who was responsible for the raid in which she was killed.
