Besides from airstrikes, Baladi News reported the launch of explosive barrels, and al-Jazeera, citing local sources, reported how “the regime (Assad, ed.) bombed the towns of Hamouriya and Arbeen with internationally banned cluster bombs”.
Meanwhile, Sky News quoted the civil defense who said that missiles loaded with the internationally-banned Napalm also were used in Hamouriya.
One civilian fatality was reported by several sources. For example, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that “Russian warplanes carried out two raids targeting areas in Hamouriyah city, which resulted in the death of one person”, while adding that “tens of others” were left wounded.
