(Previous Incident Codes: R1535RS1675)

Local media reported that airstrikes (possibly also artillery) struck an area near a school in the city of Hamouriya, Damascus, killing and injuring several civilians, including a high number of children. Reports were conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.

Several civilians (between one and two) were reportedly killed by the strikes. LCCSY reported that: “a child was martyred following Russian raids with vacuum missiles on the town of Hamouriya in eastern Ghouta.”

As many as 12 civilians were reportedly wounded. @abomaherdomair put the number at 10, most them children, adding that an airstrike hit a residential building “near children’s schools”.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights named the school as Basheer Abdul Jawad Primary School. The source added that the building was “rendered inoperable” following the strikes.

Al-Jazeera’s correspondent reported “two dead and dozens wounded in an air and artillery bombardment by Syrian regime forces on the cities and towns of Douma and Kafr Batna and Harsta in the countryside of Damascus.” The source added that the bombing hit a primary school “after the exit of students, causing great destruction”.
