An eight year old child was killed in an airstrike in Nasib, Dara’a, according to local media sources – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible.

Most known sources for this event did not positively identify the aircraft.

Step News reported that “Russian aircraft intensified raids yesterday [8th]…targeting two villages in the town of Nasib”. However, Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that it was the “Syrian-Russian alliance” who carried out the raid, leaving some ambiguity.

Local media reported that the young girl who died was eight years old.
