According to local sources, up to six civilians died including a child in Talbissa and Ar-Rastan, though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame.

LCCSY attributed the strike to Russia, while the twitter account KkhaledWw pointed to the Syrian regime.
However, according to Arabstoday, five civilians were killed by helicopters “throwing explosive barrels” in Ar-Rastam, while a “bombardment by government forces on areas in the city of Talbisah” led to the death of a child.
