(Previous Incident Codes: R214aRS255)
Three civilians including one woman and her two children were killed in an airstrike on Baza’a – though reports were conflicted as to whether the attack was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.
The Violations Documentation Centre listed three unidentified non-combatants as killed in Russian shelling.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights, however, blamed the regime.
