Aerial and artillery shelling of Kafr Batna, eastern Ghouta, Damascus, wounded two civilians, one woman and one child, local media reported.
According to multiple sources, at least one woman and one child were wounded in what Jsirtv described as “heavy air bombardment hit residential neighbourhoods in Kafr Batna.” Reportedly, the strikes hit a popular market, as noted by Abu Alhuda.
Several sources mentioned both aerial and artillery shelling. Shaam News Network, for example, reported “heavy air raids accompanied by the shelling with rockets and heavy artillery shells”.
Only a few sources apportioned blame, and those who did were conflicting. Both HalabTodayTV and Masar Press Net pointed to the Syrian regime, while LCCSY indicated that Russia was responsible.
