An unspecified number of civilians died in an airstrike on a power station in Zara, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame.
Ara News reported that “Russian warplane shelling with missiles and cluster bombs in Al-Zara and Harbnafsa killed a number of civilians.” This is the only report of civilian deaths or any injured in this specific raid.
Orient News blamed the Assad regime, but LCCSY blamed Russian warplanes.
