Four civilians died and up to seven others were wounded in an airstrike on Abou Soussa village, according to local media – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame.
Multiple sources reported that the area was under ISIS control.
The Smart News Agency blamed Russia and put the death toll at four.
But according to Syria News Desk, “four civilians were killed and seven others injured today [Oct 20th] after regime warplanes targeted residential locations in the village of abou Soussa north of the town of Deir Hafer with three raids. The raids destroyed two houses and caused other material damage.”
The majority of sources didn’t identify the culprit.
