One civilian, a child, was killed and others were injured by alleged air or artillery strikes on Maarat Al Arkeet, according to multiple local sources. It was unclear whether Russia or the regime was to blame for the death.
Alwaght suspected the Syrian regime responsible – the source stated, “Syrian army missiles and tanks targeted terrorist positions on the north-western axis of Aleppo, particularly the areas of Anadan, Kafr Hamra and Ma’arat al-Atteq, resulting in injuries among the gunmen and painful defeats”. The Syrian Press Center also blamed the regime.
According to @Syrianewstime, one child died and several others were injured in “Russian raids”. HNN also blamed Russia.
The White Helmets published a highly graphic video showing team members pulling the young civilian from the rubble – the source said Russia was the culprit.
