Footage apparently recorded in rebel-held Douma in Rif Dimashq showed injured children being rescued by civil defence workers as another explosion took place. UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were four Russian air strikes in the province but no reports of losses, with regime forces bombarding areas of Daraya as clashes between regime forces and Islamic battalions in the area continued.
