Airwars assessment
Ten civilians – mostly women and children – reportedly died and dozens more civilians were injured in multiple airstrikes on different locations in Al Mayadin, local media reported, though sources were conflicted as to whether the Coalition or Russia was responsible.
Qasiuoun laid the blame with the Coalition, reporting that jets struck “the comprehensive pharmacy” in the centre of al Mayadin.
According to RFS Media Office, “Warplanes, believed to be Russia, carried out several air raids targeting different areas inside the cities of Al-Mayadin and Abu Kamal, east of the city of Deir Ghazur, resulting in a number of dead and wounded, mostly children and women.
The Syrian Revolution in the City of Mayadeen said: “Warplanes launched two raids this morning. The first targeted the comprehensive clinic and a house that had been confiscated by the organization [IS]. The building housed IS widows and the strike killed at least 10 women and children and wounded others. The second raid targeted an empty house, which was confiscated by the organization near the post office, and destroyed it without causing any injuries.”
Jisrtv didn’t name the culprit, but also said that warplanes had targeted “a center for the shelter of widows and families of dead ISIS members in the market area in the city”. It put the death toll at ten, “all of them women and children, in addition to dozens of wounded”, adding that this event came “after dozens of raids by the Coalition Russia in the region, leaving several massacres.”
According to the Smart News Agency, “five unidentified military aircraft launched five raids on the rural recovery center and post office and the Al Shamla pharmacy near the agricultural bank in the city (46 km east of the city of Deir Ezzor), killing 10 civilians, mostly children and women, and wounded others.”
Justice For Life added that an “air strike at around 7 am this morning targeted a pharmacy next to the commercial bank in the town of Al-Ma’ayadin east of Deir Al-Zour, which led to its total destruction”.
