One civilian died and others were wounded in an airstrike on Hraitan, local sources reported – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.
Anadan Media Centre blamed Russia for the shelling, as didMasar Press, Shahba Press, Shebah News Agency, and several other local sources.
However, Hawra News pointed to the Syrian regime, reporting it shelled “Anadan, Hraytan, Hayan, Kafr Hamra, Mallah, Maarat Arteek, Babis, Kafr Naha, Urma Al Kubra, Ain Jara and killed seven civilians” in total.
A pro-regime news feed – SyriaWatanNews – tweeted: “Warplanes targeted the armed groups in Hraytan, killing one person and wounding others.”
