(Previous Incident Codes: R1191RS1317)

Air raids on the al Sakhour neighbourhood of Aleppo killed up to two civilians, local media reported. It was unclear whether the attacks were carried out by the regime or by Russia.

Islammemo reported, “two martyrs in al Sakhour.” So did @Sy_Reporter and HNN.

Alaraby News stated that Russian fighters carried out the strike, along with multiple others over Aleppo.

Almjhar News claimed that four warplanes and three helicopters (used by the regime) were involved in actions, though the phrasing made unclear whether all seven aircraft were involved in the Al Sakhour strike.

@Lccsy said that the strikes caused destruction to residential buildings, as did @AleppoAMC (although @AleppoAMC said no civilians were hurt or killed).
