Shaam News Network reported that “After six days of calm the regime and Russia have returned to Douma to disturb the lives of civilians, after warplanes launched three violent raids on the outskirts of the city.”
Syrian PC reported that one non-combatant died and several more were wounded in raids by warplanes, though did not say who they belonged to. It went on to say that “activists reported one martyr and several wounded when warplanes targeted Al Shifoniya with two strikes“, but did not clarify who the warplanes belonged to.
