(Previous Incident Code: R1423)

Between four and nine civilians were killed, including up to four children and two women, and dozens more were injured in alleged Russian and Syrian regime raids on Douma, according to local media.

Sources were conflicted as to who was responsible for the airstrikes, with some attributing the blame to Russia, others to the Syrian regime, and some not attributing any blame.

Syrian-mirror reported that there were as many as 15 raids in Douma, while other sources reported as little as four. 

One source said that thermobaric missiles were used by Russian warplanes, while others reported that the aerial bombardment was a result of “dozens of artillery shells”.

Reports and images suggest that civilians remained trapped under the rubble of residential homes for hours. Syrian-mirror claimed at the end of the day that the death toll was likely to rise due to the severity of most of the injures.
