Up to 14 named civilians died in an air and artillery strike in Al Mayadin, local media reported – though it was unclear who was responsible for the event, with sources pointing towards the Coalition, Russia and the regime. Many reports referred only to attacks by “warplanes”.
Although no specific sources put the death toll as high as 14, the total number of named casualties spread across sources was 14.
According to Euphrates Post and other sources, the raids occurred “in the vicinity of Al-Hammad Hospital and Teachers Syndicate in Al-Mayadeen”.
@Asharq_news reported that both “warplanes and helicopters had carried out 25 raids an hour ago”. However other sources claimed there were up to 50 raids. One source reported that the high intensity of raids caused a “great panic”.
The Syrian Press Center said that “Russian warplanes and international coalition aircraft continue to commit the worst massacres against civilians in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Azzur. On Sunday, warplanes carried out a new massacre in the city of Al-Mayadeen, leaving four martyrs dead”.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at three including a child and reported that the warplanes responsible were “believed to be Russian”.
Sound and Picture said that five civilians including two children had died, but like many sources, didn’t identify who carried out the raids.
However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights reported regime warplanes had killed seven non-combatants, including two children and two women.
Two ISIS fighters named as Abu Yasser and Hamdan al-Shaher Abu Saleh were also reported killed.
It was reported by Baladi that the vicinity “was hit by a barrage of un-exploded ordnance, cluster bombs and more.”
