(Previous Incident Code: R2266)
One woman was killed in alleged Russian or regime airstrikes on Deir Ezzor city, local media reported.
The wording of all the sources was exactly the same, reporting “the martyrdom of Mrs. Nawal al-Khadr as a result of the Russian air raids that hit the city of Deir al-Zour.”
However, half the sources reported that Russia had carried out the strikes while the remaining half, attributed blame to the Syrian regime.
