(Previous Incident Codes: R2519aRS2676 CS1665B)

Between two and six civilians were killed, and some others were wounded, following airstrikes on Al-Baghoz.

Local media blamed both the Iraqi Army and Russia – but it is unclear who was to blame.

An entire family of six were allegedly killed in the raid.

Smart Mews reported that “aircraft likely to be Russian launched several raids on the village of Albaguz (126 km east of the city of Deir al-Zour), killing two civilians”.

Whereas Al arabi al jadid reported that “Six civilians were killed and others wounded by Iraqi air strikes on the village of Al-Bagouz in the vicinity of the city of Abu Kamal in eastern Syria on Saturday evening [Nov 4th].”

It should be noted that the Coalition informed Airwars that some Iraqi strikes are included in Coalition strikes.
