Airwars assessment
Two civilians, a father and son, were killed and at least another two were wounded as an unidentified drone struck in Qouriya, Deir Ezzor, local sources reported.
In the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights general reporting from the Euphrates River, the media reported that “two men were killed and another were wounded after being targeted by a drone in al-Quriyah area.”
Several sources reported that the two victims, both identified by name, were father and son.
Meanwhile, @mo7ama6 reported three civilian fatalities along with “dozens of wounded”. However, it should be noted that it said that the airstrike struck the Suf al-Rifai camp which is a few kilometers from al-Qouriya.
Finally, Sharqiya Voice, reported that two victims were “injured in the eyes, as they were targeted by an unmanned drone after they lost their way and approached the front line of IS in the city of Qouriya.”
None of the sources apportioned blame, but as the event took place on the Syrian regime/Russian side of the river, both are, as of now, suspected belligerents.
Also, it is unclear whether the strikes in the Suf al-Rifai camp are the same as reported by the two other sources, but as of now, they will be treated as the same incident.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
