Up to 17 civilians including women and children died in an airstrike on Mheimdeh, Deir ez-Zor, according to local media – though it was unclear who was responsible for the deaths, with many sources pointing towards Russia, some to the regime and others not identifying the culprit.
Free Deir Radio put the death toll at ten with “many” more wounded.
Euphrates Post reported “an initial toll of 15 martyrs, mostly women and children and there were dozens more wounded.” It didn’t identify who were responsible for the “warplanes”, but said that there had been three raids “targeting of civilian homes around the water station”.
However, according to Sharqiya Voice, Step News Agency, Enabbaladi, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and others, Russia was to blame.
Syriannews, also blaming Russia, put the death toll at least 17.
But other sources, including Aletihadpress, pointed to the Assad regime.
According to a report by Albaathmedia, a Coalition raid “destroyed the headquarters of Daesh and two pick-up pickup trucks and killed 14 terrorists in the village of Muhaimida in the western countryside.”
