Seven civilians were killed – including five civilians believed to be from one family – and a number of others were injured in airstrikes on the village of Al Kashkiya in eastern Deir Ezzor. However it was contested as to who was responsible.
Four sources – Radio al Kul, Micro News, Smart News Agency and Syrian Network for Human Rights – alleged that the Coalition was responsible meanwhile @Syria7ra blamed Russia and Al Jazeera alleged that the Syrian government was responsible. Five sources did not make any claims as to who was to blame.
A number of sources reported that the strikes took place near the village’s middle school and a number of images were shared which showed the level of destruction.
Other sources reported that the family home was deliberately “targeted” by warplanes.
With regards to civilian casualties, some sources were able to identify some of the victims however they conflicted in their accounts.
