Between five and seven civilians died and up to another seven were wounded in an alleged Russian or regime airstrike on a waterway leading to the Al Hamidiya neighbourhood, Deir Ezzor city, sources on the ground said

According to the Shaam News Network, “activists reported  that  Russian aircraft  targeted a water crossing leading to the city – which is under the control of IS – with an air raid, which led to the martyrdom of five civilians and a number of injured.”

Euphrates Post also blamed Russia and put the death toll at five. Syria News Desk added that seven further people were wounded.

A alter report by Euphrates Post (in English) put the death toll at seven.

However, Deir Ezzor24 pointed to the regime, reporting that “five civilians were martyred after a water crossing north of Deir Ezzor city was targeted by Assad warplanes”.
