(Previous Incident Codes: R1435RS1570)

Up to five civilians were killed, including a woman and a girl, and as many as dozens more were wounded in alleged Russian and Syrian regime raids on the Civil Defence Centre for Rehabilitation and Training, and a boys’ school in Al Atarib, according to sources on the ground.

It is unclear as to whether these were two separate locations, or a boys’ school which had been turned into a training centre for the civil defence. Imagery showed desks and paintings in the exterior of the building, suggesting it was once a school. According to sources, the building was rendered inoperable.

Sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible for the civilian harm.

There were reports that not only cluster bombs, but artillery shelling and phosphorous bombs were used in this alleged event.
