(Previous Incident Code: S1639)
Local sources reported that two boys aged 16 and 17, “were killed by an aircraft believed to belong to the International Coalition.”
The Syrian Network for Human Rights noted that the airstrike took place at “Badiya [area] of Theyban city” in the suburbs of Deir Ezzor.
Both Euphrates Post and Deir Ezzor 24 named the two boys and said both were from Al Hawaij. According to the media outlets, the two boys were on a motorcycle “on their way to to work at the crude oil burners”.
In the second of their September 2020 civilian casualty reports, 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.
