Two civilians were reportedly killed and three wounded in an alleged Russian airstrike on the ISIS controlled village of Rasim Hamida, in the eastern Homs countryside – though only one source has reported on the incident.

Smart News, who attributed likely responsibility to Russia, cited a civilian source, who stated: “the warplanes targeted civilian houses with cluster bombs in the village of Rasim Hamida, near Jib al Jirah. It led to the deaths of two civilians, and injuring a woman and her two children – they were transferred to Raqqa”.
