Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Codes: R1533RS1673)
Multiple sources reported that up to three airstrikes struck the city of Douma in eastern Ghouta, Damascus, killing one woman and injuring up to another nine civilians. The female victim was identified by many sources. It was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible.
Several sources said that the strikes hit residential areas, including a mosque, according to @alitaha1973.
LCCSY reported that “Russian warplanes launched two airstrikes with thermobaric missiles on neighborhoods in #Douma city in the Eastern Ghouta, which killed a civilian, injured others and set houses on fire.”
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “three airstrikes targeted Duma, leading to the death of one civilian and wounding of nine others”.
Most sources did not identify the culprit and referred to “warplanes”.
But two sources, @alitaha1973 and @SyriaPressorg1, attributed the strikes to the Syrian regime, while only one, LCCSY, blamed Russia.
