One child was reportedly killed by airstrikes on the town of Al-Tayaneh, Deir Ezzor, local media reported, though it was unclear who was to blame.

Activists on the ground told Smart News Agency that “the aircraft bombarded a crossing on the Euphrates River in the town of al Tayana connecting the eastern and western banks, killing one civilian.” The child victim was identified by name by two sources.

Smart News Agency said that the airstrikes that killed the child were “likely to be Russian”, while the two remaining sources merely referred to unidentified “warplanes”.
