Between one and three men were killed in airstrikes on Mohassein, local media reported. Sources all attributed the blame to Russia or “military aircraft”.

Airwars researchers believe that Hamza Mahmoud al-Fathi al-Nasser was possibly a militant, however we are unclear so have left him in the death count.

In addition to this, sources claim that Othman Mohammed Al-Khalif Al-Shanadi was not killed in Mohassein, however, he is from this town and was killed on this day around the same vicinity. It is unclear however where he was killed.

The sources added that “most of the residents of the towns of Mohassein village in the eastern suburb of Deir Ezzor, migrated to the northern bank of the river “island” due to the intensity of raids on residential areas in these areas.”

Asharq Asouri reported that the raids hit the houses of: Khaled Al – Hamid Al – Turki; Hussain Al – Mustafa; Ghadban AL-Turki. They were completely destroyed.
