Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Codes: R833RS929)
Four to six civilians from one family, including women and children, died following air strikes on the Qaterji neighbourhood of Aleppo, local media reported – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime were to blame.
A number of sources alleged the regime responsible, including the Syrian Network for Human Rights.
Halab Today TV alleged “Assad’s planes and it’s allies” were responsible, while the Shaam News Network referred to “Russian and Assad’s planes”, alleging they operated jointly.
However, the majority of reports attributed the event to Russia.
The civil defence team, the White Helmets, did not apportion blame, reporting that four civilians were killed and many injured. The team “managed to pull out a family still alive from under the rubble” and continued to search for survivors. In a subsequent video report by the White Helmets, seven non-combatants were documented injured.
“Lion war” put the death toll at four, while @zakarianassani suspected that eight were injured.
