The State of Qatar has condemned the aerial raid by the Syrian regime in Deir al-Asafir village South-East of Damascus, which led to the murder and injuries of dozens of people, majority of which were women and children.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said that the air raid was in violation to the ceasefire and related UN resolutions, including resolution no. 2268 of 2016. The ministry said that the attack reflects the regime's policies of killing civilians and destroying the state's infrastructure. The ministry also said that the attack has threatened all international efforts to reach a political solution to achieve aspirations of the Syrian people.

The statement highlighted Qatar's invitation to the international community and the UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities in ending these crimes and protect the Syrian people, in addition to prevent any undermining of reaching a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
