RNA - The sources said that the fighter jets bombed the settlement of Harizeh in al-Basireh region in Northern Deir Ezzur, killing five civilians and wounding several others.

Well-informed sources in Deir Ezzur said last month that the US airstrikes destroyed more bridges and supply routes in the province, adding that 50 civilians were killed in the attacks.

"50 civilians, including women and children, were killed in the US-led coalition airstrikes on Deir Ezzur," the sources said.

Noting that the US airstrikes pounded 7 bridges in four days, they said that the bridges on the Euphrates in al-Mayadeen, al-Bu Kamal, al-Ashara, al-Basira, al-Tarif and al-Nowam in the Eastern and Western countryside of Deir Ezzur were attacked before the airstrike on al-Abbas bridge.
