An adult male was killed, and others were wounded, when alleged Russian warplanes struck Rasim Al-Abid camp for Internally Displaced Peoples. Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame, with many blaming Russia but some blaming the Syrian regime.

One source states that the bombardments by Russia were “hysterical” with as many as 25 consecutive strikes.

Syrian Press Centre reported only wounded civilians. They also blamed both Russia and the Syrian regime.

Sources reported that tents were damaged in the raids.
