Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R1376)
A woman and her unborn child died in an alleged Russian or Syrian regime air or artillery strike on Douma, according to sources on the ground.
According to the Step News Agency, “a woman and her foetus were killed and a number of more people wounded when Russian planes targeted residential areas in Douma Eastern Douma with several air raids”.
But some other sources made no mention of the unborn child. For example, 7al reported that “a woman and her son were killed”, according to Mahmoud Adam, a spokesman for the civil defence in Damascus.
@SyriaRevolutin published an image of a little girl, ‘Zeinab’, while Halab Today said that one child had been killed in an artillery attack.
Additionally, on November 1st, LCCSY reported the death of six-year-old Alaa Suleik, and said that he had died after sustaining an injury “several days ago in shelling of Douma” – though it’s unclear whether he was wounded in this particular strike on October 27th.
Sources say there was much material damage to public roads.
