Airwars assessment
Local sources said that two civilians died in an airstrike on Hraytan – though reports are conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the Syrian regime.
The White Helmets published a video and image of them extinguishing a fire in a “civilian car” which they said had been caused by “helicopters firing barrel bombs” – suggesting that this was an attack by the regime.
However, subsequent posts by the White Helmets spoke of “raids using vacuum missiles” and “Russian raids“, indicating that this may have been the work of the regime and Russia.
Other sources pointed towards Russia, with Syria_24s saying that Moscow launched 13 raids with cluster bombs.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed the regime, and said that two non-combatants were killed. According to Damas_time: “the Syrian Air Force targeted armed groups in Handarat and Haritan and the perimeter of the military school.”
Two victims were named – as killed by Russian cluster bombs – by the Violations Documentation Center.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
- Abdelgani Hasan al-Bayaa Adult male killed
- Abdelaziz Jaklan Adult male killed
