Between five and 25 civilians died and up to another 25 were wounded in alleged Russian airstrikes on the Ard Hamra neighbourhood of Aleppo, according to local media.

HNN named two of the victims, and added that six others were unidentified.

All4Syria reported the highest casualty count with 25 saying: “The largest number of victims was in Ard Hamra district, which was targeted with cluster bombs, warplanes and missiles, which caused the deaths of more than 25 civilians.”

Most other sources provided much lower numbers, such as Al Jazeera who reported that “eight were killed by the Russian raids on Ard Hamra and Alsakhur in Aleppo.”

A number of other sources didn’t apportion blame. For example, @MasarPressNet reported “the martyrdom and wounding of about 20 civilians after the bombing with rockets and cluster stereochemistry on the Ard Hamra neighborhood”.
