Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. According to SOHR's sources, the young man was seriously injured by an indiscriminate gunshot before succumbing to his wounds. The precise circumstances of the shooting and the party responsible for firing have not been detailed in the report.
