According to local reports, an alleged Russian airstrike on Kharbat al-A’mika killed between three and 11 civilians and wounded a number others.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that the airstrike killed one entire family: “The bombing on the village (…) resulted in the killing of five individuals from the same family [four children and one woman]”. It should also be noted that the Syrian News Network claimed that cluster bombs were used in the attacks.
@ALAMAWI put the death toll at 11, but like a number of other sources didn’t identify the culprit.
