(Previous Incident Codes: R2089RS2229)

Three or four civilians were killed – three from one family – and others were wounded, when an airstrike hit a residential neighbourhood, farm and water tank in Akeirbat, local media reported. Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame. Some sources such as Baladi news, blamed Russian warplanes for the airstrikes, while the Syrian Network for Human Rights pointed to the “Syrian-Russian alliance”. Many other sources didn’t identify the “military aircraft” responsible.

Baladi News and other sources reported that a man, his wife, and his child were killed in the airstrike in the vicinity. Allegedly, the warplanes struck the residential neighbourhood, including a farm, and later moved on to target the water tank in the neighbourhood, which led to complete destruction of the structure, with no casualties.

There were no reports with specific numbers of injured civilians. However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that those who were injured were in a serious condition.

Other sources, such as Syrian-mirror, put the death toll at four. They also reported there was “material damage to public and private property”. 

SOHR noted that the vicinity was under the control of ISIS.

Rfsmediaoffice specified that a Russian RPG was used in the raid.
