At least one woman was killed in airstrikes against the town of Saida in the countryside of Dara’a.

Local sources gave conflicting reports as to who was responsible for the airstrikes. Orient News reported that both the regime and Russia carried out airstrikes but did not determine which struck Saida. Other sources did give specific identities, with Victims Documentation Center and @eyadalzoubi blaming Russian airplanes for carrying out the airstrikes while All4Syria and Smart News named the regie as the culprit.

According to Orient News, the strikes on Saida was part of a campaign by regime and Russian warplanes to deliberately target residential buildings and service centers in the Dara’a area.
