Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R1060)
Ten named civilians including two children and two women died and dozens more were injured in airstrikes on Ghantou in Homs, local media reported. The majority of sources blamed the Assad regime, though some others attributed the event to Russia.
Smo-syria, @syriapost1, @ALAMAWI and Halab Today said that Russia was responsible. Halab Today put the death toll at 11 including two children and one woman.
However, LCCSY pointed to both Russia and the regime, reporting that “22 civilians died, mostly due to air strikes on Al-Ghantu and Talbisah”.
But most other reports attributed the event to the Assad regime.
A number of other sources didn’t identify the warplanes responsible. For example, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported three strikes, killing “at least 13 people, including a male child, a female child, four citizen women and a judge”.
RFS Media Center added that “one of the raids targeted a school in the town”.
The Violations Documentation Center, who blamed “Syrian government and affiliated militias” named 13 civilian fatalities. They also named Farid Abd Al Satar Othman, a fighter, as killed.
