Russian atrocities | Russian military vehicle runs over child in Ain Issa in Al-Raqqah countryside

Al-Raqqah province: A 15-year-old boy was seriously injured after being run over by a Russian military vehicle on the highway in Ain Issa city centre in northern countryside of Al-Raqqah.

The child was taken to the “Omar Alloush” hospital for treatment and then transferred to Al-Raqqah.

On January 15, Russian forces evacuated their troops from their military base in Bir Hassan village, east of Ain Issa, on M4 highway following a dispute with the residents of the village.

According to Syrian Observatory activists, the dispute began when some Russian soldiers tried to flirt with a Syrian girl working in a shop by giving her women’s clothes as a gift.

Flirting with the girl angered her family and the villagers, and then a dispute erupted over this action by Russian troops. SDF intervened and evacuated the Russian base.
