Up to three civilians, including two female children, were killed and several were left wounded following airstrikes striking the village of Al-Husayniya, Deir Ezzor, local media reported, though it was unclear who carried out the strikes.
Several sources reported the death of two children. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported “two female children were killed and others were injured, as a result of bombing by warplanes on Al-Husseiniyah village, in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor, after the midnight of Tuesday – Wednesday (October 10th-11th, ed.)
As the only source, Sharqiya Voice reported that three civilians had been killed and did not mention the two children among the victims.
Finally, Step News Agency, who reported about the incident a couple of days after, on October 13th, said that the strikes had not caused any damage.
Only @olay6663 identified Russia as responsible as the remaining reports did not identify the culprit and merely referred to “warplanes”.
