At least one civilian died and four more were wounded in alleged Russia or Assad regime strikes on Khan Al A’sal, according to sources on the ground.

The Shaam News reported that Russian military aircrafts carried out raids in the area of Khan al-Asal and Kafar Naha. The source reported wounded civilians but did not provide further more details.

According to Euphrates Post, “Russian warplanes targeted the Al-Rashidin area and the vicinity of Al-Sharq factory in the town of Khan al-Asal”.

AA news put the death toll at one with four more wounded and blamed Russia. Alsouria gave the same figures but attributed them to the regime.

@syriamylove9 noted the “martyrdom of a family displaced from Homs” but gave no further details.
