Up to 15 civilians including nine people from the same family died and dozens more were injured in airstrikes near Taybah in Mayadin, according to local sources – though reports were conflicted as to whether the Coalition or Russia were to blame.
The Step News Agency, Smart News Agency and Zamanalwasl were among sources pointing towards the US-led Coalition. According to Smart, nine civilians from one family – including five women – died, with dozens more injured.
The Step News Agency put the death toll even higher at 15.
Euphrates Post (who referred only to “military aircraft”) and other sources named victims from the Al-Manfi family (including four children).
A number of other sources said that the warplanes responsible had not be identified.
According to @zaidbenjamin, 14 non-combatants died, including five children and four women.
Other sources gave more detail on the locations of the strikes. Qasioun reported that “one of the raids targeted a house near the agricultural building in the town, killing two women and four children from one family”, while Euphrates Post added that strikes also “targeted the vicinity of Koniku gas field and the crossing of the town of Tiyana and Badia Albuqmal”. Multiple sources said that civilian homes were struck.
One source – the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights – suggested that the strikes may have been carried out by Moscow, reporting that “explosions were heard in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, as a result of airstrikes carried out by warplanes targeting locations in Taybah area. It is unknown whether the planes were Russian or belonged to the international Coalition”.
