15 civilians including one woman and nine children were killed in alleged Russian airstrikes on Al Baghiliya, according to local sources.

The Shaam News Network blamed Russia for the strikes, reporting: “Activists have denied the news published by Assad’s media that IS had committed a massacre against civilians in Al Baghiliya district.  The regime said that IS killed 280 civilians. Activists noted that civilian victims, numbering around 15, fell in the area as a result of Russian strikes.“

Deir Ezzor is Being Slaughtered Silently reported 15 civilians were killed in Russian strikes when Daesh took control of most of Al Baghiliya, and that they had executed “several of the miilitia of the civil defence and arrests others“, adding that members of Daesh had taken “civilian homes as bases for themselves“, which were then bombed “violently” by Russian warplanes.
