Three civilians were reported “seriously wounded” following an “aerial bombardment” by the US-led Coalition, local sources alleged.
The raid reportedly took place at Al Dashisha village 35km southeast of al Shaddadi. According to Baladi, “shelling that targeted the village, caused the destruction of shops” and “other rockets targets the warehouses of grain causing an outbreak of fire, and destroying the entire stock”.
According to a source who spoke to Top News, the raid came after evening prayers and “the Coalition aircraft did not leave the skies throughout the night”. Ibrahim Abukail, a resident of Markad (44 km distance away), said “the target is a vital market for the population, where civilians are dispatched from far away areas to purchase their needs and food commodities”.
While the Coalition did not publicly report any strikes in the area for this date, a later assessment stated that “The report contains insufficient information of the time, location and details to assess its credibility.” This indicated that Coalition strikes may indeed have been conducted in the area on this date.
