One adult male civilian, Naji al Izbeh, was killed in an alleged Russian airstrike on Al Buomar, according to the Violations Documentation Center and other local sources – though there is some confusion among sources as to whether Russia or the regime were responsible.

In an initial tweet, LCCSY said this was a strike by the regime, killing one civilian and wounding others. However, in a second tweet it appeared to change position and blame Russia, again naming Naji al Izbeh as killed.

Al Jisr said a number of individuals had been killed – including children – in a raid by “military warplanes“, but didn’t identify the culprit.

Deir Ezzor is Being Slaughtered Silently reported that “regime planes targeted last night the village with three missiles destroying three houses.” However, the time is given as “last night“, with further research required.
