A Russian aircraft struck a White Helmets building in Aleppo’s al Ansari neighbourhood, killing eight people, according to local sources. The strike reportedly occurred in conjunction with other strikes on White Helmets buildings in Alhaidariya and Hanano, Alsouria News said.

The White Helmets posted a YouTube video showing the extent of the destruction. A large building was demolished, and at least two ambulances were rendered unusable. A tweet from @shaamnews also included photographs of the destroyed vehicles.

Most other sources gave little additional information, but also reported eight deaths. HNN’s list of martyrs had eight unidentified casualties listed for the incident, and the Shaam News Network’s update included the same.
