One civilian was killed and three injured in an airstrike in Dael, Dara’a, according to local media sources –  though it was unclear whether Russia or Assad’s regime were responsible.

The strike hit the field hospital “Nabd Houran”, which according to Alaraby provided medical services to over 100,000 people. One nurse was killed in the attack.

The sources were split when it came to attributing responsibility. Step News Agency among others blamed Russian warplanes. However, Smart News reported that helicopter aircraft threw several barrels of explosives – weapons that are known to be used by the Assad regime.

Syrian Network for Human Rights did not positively identify the aircraft and instead reported that the “Syrian-Russian alliance” was responsible for the raid.
