Sources reported the death of between one and six civilians, and all six victims were identified by name, including two children.

One of the victims,  Hassan al-Mahash, was reportedly a media activist for the Civil Defence. Another victim, Al Haj Mohammad Deeb Muhi al Deen Sariyou, reportedly died on December 13th 2016 from wounds sustained during the strikes on December 11th.

The majority of the sources blamed the Syrian regime while a few attributed the strike to Russia.
