Airwars assessment
Between five and seven civilians from one family were killed, including three women and three children, following airstrikes on Abo Shahri. Sources all blamed Russian warplanes for the raids, except the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who blamed Russian and Syrian regime shelling. There were no reports of any injured civilians.
According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “seven civilians from the same family, including three children and three women [were] killed by suspected Russian warplanes missiles fired near car driving civilians in Abo Shari village in Raqqa governorate eastern suburbs, August 19.”
Shahed_Alep however tweeted that “five civilian [were] martyred” and others were wounded “as a result of Russian aircraft targeting their vehicle on the road in the countryside of eastern Raqqa.”
Syrian Human Rights Committee named two civilians, but said that they were killed on the 14th. Airwars assesses this is likely incorrect as there were no strikes reported on the vicinity on the 14th, and the two civilians were from the same family, so likelihood is they were killed on the 19th.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
