Who are the disbelievers bro ?
As for disbelievers, we can pray for them. The prophet did. After his people opposed his message, caled him a liar, and made him bleed, the prophet PBUH wiped the blood from his face and said : ‘O God! Forgive my people, for they know not!" (Bukhari #3290).
As for that accident, there is 12 civilians afflicted by this disaster, I should make sure about the numbers though, and they are muslims.
As for the soldiers, we all know that the simple miserable soldiers are not the deciders in army, they're working for food. Yes, they are to blame for not doing what Allah wants and they're sinners, but their powerful leaders and generals and the goverment leaders are to blame first. We should pray for their guidance and for Allah to forgive them. Some of those small soldiers can be members of our families or can be our neighbours.
In many countries, when revolutions happened, the soldiers left the government and joined civilians, so we can't deny that Allah's mercy could prevail them one day.
