(Previous Incident Codes: R1187RS1313)

Local and international media reported six civilians, including three or four children and one man named Mohammad Alloush, were killed in an air raid on the neighbourhood of Bab al Nayrab, which according to CNN and Sky News Arabia struck a water pumping station which supplied 250 thousand people in eastern Aleppo. Geroun News said phosphorus bombs were used, leading to a fire in the station. It was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime was to blame.

According to HNN, “three children, a man, an unidentified woman, and Mohammad Alloush” were killed in the raids.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that deaths were caused by Russian warplanes and the regime’s helicopters, listing “two children, a girl and a young man from one family, in addition to a woman and her child” as killed.

Most sources put the death toll at six: @shahed_alep suggested that all six were from the same family. Islammemo and @Mamoun_sy both published roundups of death tolls in Aleppo neighbourhoods which claimed six dead in Bab al Nayrab.

Sources did not agree on the identity of those responsible. Alsouria attributed the damage to “heavy shelling,” @RFS_mediaoffice and @ALAMAWI both accused Russian warplanes, while Syrian Press Center and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights both stated that the attackers were the joined forces of the regime and Russia.
