One child died and several members of his family were injured in an airstrike on Al Lattoum village, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether this was the work of the US-led Coalition (against which there was just one allegation), Russia or the Syrian regime.

Alsoukhnaalhadath reported the death of a male child, as a result of the “targeting of the house of his sister in Lattoum by the international criminal coalition. His sister was moderately injured in the leg and was taken to the hospital.”

However, other sources blamed Russia. According to Palmyra Media Centre, “several members” of the child’s family were also wounded in the alleged Russian strike.
Insaan Rights Watch blamed the regime, while the Syrian Network for Human Rights pointed to “Syrian-Russian Alliance forces”.

In their June 2020 civilian casualty report, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in this strike as “non-credible”, stating that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area at that time.
