Local media reported that a child died of her injuries on April 25th after alleged Russian airstrikes on Al Badiyah (the desert) in the western Deir Ezzor countryside several days earlier.

@DeirEzzor24 tweeted: “The child Sumaya Saleh Al Bayram died of injuries she received several days ago in aerial bombardment by #Russia on the Badiyah of the western #DeirEzzor countryside.” Other sources, such as SyriaPC, also reported that the airstrike had taken place several days earlier, but none of the sources specified the date.
