(Previous Incident Code: S950)

Two displaced families, made up of 10 to 13 civilians which included three women and seven children, were reportedly killed and others were injured in alleged airstrikes on two houses in Al Quoriya – though most sources alleged that the Coalition was responsible, one report from Step News Agency, pointed towards Russia.

Sound and Picture reported that ISIL members had previously been living in the two houses targeted by the airstrikes, said to be owned by Suleiman al Aidan, but said that they had left some time ago and that the house was subsequently filled with the displaced families.

Step News Agency said that the two families were displaced from Raqqa and reported that strikes were carried out by an “airliner believed to be Russian”.

Of the 13 sources to report the incident, 10 alleged that the Coalition was responsible.

No further details were available.

On October 27th 2017 the Coalition admitted having killed a civilian in a strike in Al Quoriya. The confirmed strike might relate to this event (CS1084) or be a separate event (CS1085). The Coalition’s report stated: “June 25, 2017, near Al Qurayya, Syria, via self-report. During a Coalition strike that destroyed one ISIS staging location, it was assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed.”

The Coalition is currently withholding the exact coordinates for this confirmed strike. Airwars is seeking further information from the Coalition.
