Two sources reported that an airstrike struck the town of Sousse, Deir Ezzor, though there were only weak reports of civilian harm.

Deir Ezzor is being exterminated tweeted that a “Massacre [was] committed by the Russian occupation aircraft against civilians in the town of Sousse, where the aircraft targeted Al-Sayer residential complex.”

Meanwhile, Justice for Life merely reported that Al-Sousse, along with several other towns in Deir Ezzor, was being struck by warplanes, and did not apportion blame nor reported about civilian harm.

There are no other details at this time.
