Airwars assessment
As many as 12 civilians were killed, and dozens more wounded, in air and artillery strikes which struck the residential neighbourhood of Taman’a. Sources blamed both the Syrian regime and Russian warplanes for the strikes.
The Violations Documentation Centre reported that there were two incidents which occurred on the same day in Taman’a, however they do not give any further details. No other sources made this claim.
Despite high casualty figures across most sources, some local media only reported one death. @mohamed1aldaher was amongst them, who reported that there were 19 dead civilians were distributed over Al Sarman (2), Al Taman’a (1), Al – Mushrifah (4), Skeet farms (3), – Sahihan (3), Badama (1), Om Jalal, Al Sayad Ali Al Taman’a Farms.
It is possible that both @mohamed1aldaher and Al Etihad press were reporting on the second incident of the day.
According to Step News Agency, as many as 100 rockets were fired on the vicinity. Syrian Human Rights Committee was the only source which included artillery shelling in their report.
Members of the Syrian Civil Defence were photographed pulling victims from the rubble, and according to their own Twitter account, they took many wounded civilians to nearby medical facilities for treatment.
They added that an entire family were trapped under the rubble – they did not give information as to who was wounded and who died.
A local source tweeted that “Al Sarman, Al Taman’a and farms, Almshirifa and Babolin” were all targeted in the raids. They attributed blame to both Russia and the Syrian regime.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
