Airwars assessment
Up to five civilians died in a strike on a taxi or militant vehicle in Al Arba’ain street, Al Mayadin, local media reported – though it was unclear who was to blame. Most sources didn’t identify who was responsible, though one attributed the event to Russian aircraft.
Euphrates Post reported “a military air strike targeted a taxi in Al-Arbaeen Street in the city of Al-Mayadin, killing all in the car.” Masar Press said that “three civilians were killed as a result of the targeting of a military vehicle in Al-Arbaeen Street in Al-Mayadin”. That suggested that the civilians harmed were not in the vehicle itself.
Alghad, which put the death toll at five, blamed Russia.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
