Two women and four children, including a newborn baby, were reportedly killed and dozens of others injured in airstrikes in Muhassan, in the east of Deir Ezzor, but it was not immediately clear who was responsible.

Euphrates Post and Sharqiya Voice reported that warplanes committed the “massacre” but did not say who they believed was responsible.

Smart News Agency also reported the incident, but said that the warplanes “likely belonging to the Syrian regime”. Syrianpc and the Syrian Network for Human Rights also blamed the regime. However, Qasioun was alone in alleging that Russia was responsible.

Euphrates Post also named a five-year-old girl as a victim. According to Free Deir Ezzor, she was killed by “warplanes targeting al Nahiya centre in Muhassen town with cluster bombs”.

The Coalition reported that it had conducted strikes on the day “near Dayr ez-Zour.”
