Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Codes: R1603RS1748)
As many as two civilians were killed, with several “confirmed injured”, in airstrikes on the Eastern countryside of Hama, according to local media. Only one source attributed blame to Russian warplanes, whereas the rest blamed the Syrian regime.
According to Airwars researchers, all the sources apart from Smart News are allegedly Syrian regime propaganda.
Additionally there are no specific casualty figures reported by any media. Smart declared that there were “dead and wounded among civilians following Russian air raids on Salba and Rasim al Qidssiya, Akeirbat and al Hisso which are under the control of the opposition in the northern Hama countryside.”
There are no other details at this time.
