Airwars assessment
One child died and 15 other civilians – many reportedly also children – were wounded in a civilian casualty incident in Talbisah, according to local media – though it was unclear whether the casualties were caused by Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes or Syrian regime artillery.
Al Jazeera and Gulfeyes blamed Russia. According to Syria News Desk, “Russian warplanes used cluster bombs last night on neighbourhoods in the city of Talbiseh. This led to the death of a child killed and injury of 15 other people”.
But some other sources pointed towards the Syrian regime. Qasioun, Alsory-Alhor and Syriafree339 reported that the regime was carrying out heavy artillery strikes.
Syriamubashar put the death toll at two, while multiple sources said that many children were wounded in the incident.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
