A six-year-old girl, Raghad Badi’ al Suleiman, died of a heart attack after she heard the sound of warplanes circling the sky in Al Mayadeen, Deir Ezzor, multiple local sources reported. While reports didn’t identify who the planes belonged to, the Coalition was said to have conducted heavy raids on the city that day.
According to Euphrates Post, “Raghd Badia Al-Sulaiman died following a heart attack brought on by fear and panic after she heard the sound of warplanes. It is worth mentioning that the girl Raghad is the second victim after the child Hashim Abdel Fattah Al Ali, eight-years-old, [see incident below] from the city of Albuqamal, who died because of the sound of planes which are flying round the clock.”
