Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R1367)
Between four and 10 civilians including one child and one woman died and as any as 30 more were wounded in air and/or artillery strikes on Douma, according to local media – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame for the deaths, with sources reporting that both parties carried out actions on this day. Many sources referred to the use of cluster bombs and rockets.
But in a later post, the source said that “civilians were martyred due to Assad’s forces shelling on Douma city with cluster bombs”. A popular market was reportedly struck.
The Shaam News Network blamed both Russia and the regime putting the number killed at five with dozens more wounded.
However, other sources attributed the event to only the regime. The Syrian Network for Human Rights said that one child and a woman were among five people killed; the Syrian Observatory put the death toll at six; while the highest death count – of eight civilians with 30 more injured – was given by @syria1news1, who blamed “heavy shelling of markets and schools in Douma” – though the source didn’t identify the culprit.
