Following a lethal attack on the village of Marat, Deir Ezzor, the previous day, the village was reportedly struck by airstrikes again on the 24th, resulting in up to five civilian fatalities and several more people being wounded. Sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were to blame.
Deir Ezzor radio reported that “warplanes launched two raids targeting the villages of Marat – the raids were in the same area as the massacre yesterday [Nov 23rd]. Until now there are five martyrs.”
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “warplanes also bombed areas in the village Marat in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, killing five citizens”. The source added that a total of ten civilians had been killed during the past 24 hours in Marat.
@JFLngo gave the lowest death count reporting that “a house was bombed in the village of Marat Fawqani in Deir al-Azur for the second time, killing one civilian person and injuring a number more.” This was also the only source that mentioned the number of wounded.
Alaraby pointed to the Syrian regime as responsible, while Euphrates blamed Russia. Several sources merely referred to “warplanes”.
