(Previous Incident Codes: R2951aRS3157)

Three to four civilians were killed due to injuries sustained in an earlier shelling on Douma, according to local media. Sources attributed this strike to both Russia and the Syrian regime.

According to SHRC.arabic, “three people affected by the impact of a previous air strike that targeted the city of Douma in the province of Damascus countryside died on Sunday”.

The Violations Documentation Centre named four adult male victims, blaming the “Syrian government and affiliated militias” for their deaths.

The date of the previous strike is unclear. Airwars research has concluded that the civilians were most likely killed in the alleged Russian strike, RS3138, on Douma (March 2nd). It must be noted that this is an educated guess, we have no evidence to prove this.
