Between two and three civilians were killed, including three children and a woman, and others were wounded in airstrikes that struck Al Salloum village in Aleppo, sources on the ground said.

While the Violations Documentation Center and Halab News identified the names of an adult female and male that were killed in the airstrikes, @eldorar1 allegesdthat three children from the same family were killed.

The consensus among local sources was that Russian planes were responsible for the attacks.

Most sources reported that cluster bombs were used in the strike, however @RFS_NORTH tweeted that surface rockets were deployed.
