Two civilians were reported killed and several others wounded in airstrikes on Ain Tarma, according to local media sources – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible for the attack.
Smart News Agency who reported that the attack was likely to be a Russian air raid, stated that the two civilians that died were children. However, NGOSyria who reported the names of those who died, did not mention whether the civilians were children.
In a separate video, Smart News also reported that civilians were wounded in Ain Tarma from raids by “regime aircraft”.
Most sources did not identify the “warplanes”, but @RevoZamalka added that there were “four air-to-surface missiles”
