Up to seven civilians including three children and one woman died and 50 more were injured in alleged Russian airstrikes with cluster bombs on Anjara, according to local sources.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported: “Six citizens (including 2 citizen women and two children) were killed and injured when warplanes believed to be Russian bombed areas in Anjarah town in the western countryside of Aleppo, and the death toll is expected to rise because there are some people in critical situation.

Syria Mirror reported that Russia dropped cluster bombs on the town, killing seven civilians and wounding around 50 more, including women and children. JisrTV also blamed Russia and gave the same death toll as Syria Mirror.

Four civilians were named by the Violations Documentation Center in addition to one unidentified female child.
