SNN said that 10 civilians were killed in airstrikes on the cities and towns of the northern countryside of Aleppo since Saturday morning: four in Ma’arsta al-Khan, two in Hayyan, two in Tal Rifaat and two in Tamoura, in addition to dozens wounded.
The White Helmets published a video showing their teams rescuing victims “after Russian raids“, but did not provide any further information.
Alburaq Media Institution also posted a video showing the aftermath of what they said was a Russian strike. Testimony on camera says: “The Russian warplanes targeted the town of Hayyan which resulted in two deaths, a man and a woman, and as you can see here the targets were civilian homes, there is no presence of Daesh or FSA here, only civilians.”
Aleppo Media Centre and Tel Rifaat@Reefhalab also alleged that Russia was responsible.
These victims were also named by Mare’e Media Office and @abualghorabaa, though neither source said who was responsible for the “shelling“.
They were also named by Damascus Center for Human Rights, but they said that they were killed by “indiscriminate shelling of the Russian airline“.
