Several civilians were left wounded after warplanes belonging to Russia or the Syrian regime carried out airstrikes in Abu Daliya, Hama, local media reported.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SN4HR) reported that “Syrian- Russian alliance warplanes fired missiles on the mosque of Abu Dali village in Hama governorate eastern suburbs, severely destroying it and rendering it inoperable on July 4, 2017”.

Step News Agency added that the strikes had wounded “several” civilians.

While SN4HR attributed blame to both Russia and the Syrian regime, Al Latamna Youth Group associated only Russia with the incident.
