Between two and five civilians were wounded in an airstrike which struck a bus or car carrying civilians in Al-Hamra, local media said. Sources all attributed blame to Russia.

The wounded were transferred to medical points.

According to ‘Al Latamna youth group’ on Facebook, ” two civilians were wounded in an air strike by Russian occupation aircraft on a civilian bus between the villages of # Al Boyoud and Al-Andrian in Al Hamra area in the eastern suburb of Hama.”

It is unclear whether or not a car was targeted or a bus, however it is evident that civilian housing was partially destroyed in the raid.
