Up to ten people were injured in an air and artillery strike which struck a residential neighbourhood in Al Mashed, Aleppo. Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame. One attributed blame to both Russia and Syrian regime artillery. The other two remained impartial.

There were no specific numbers of killed reported, however, the Step News Agency did report that “cluster bombs and missiles in the Aleppo neighbourhoods of Al Zabadia, al Mashad, Salahudin, al Sukkari, Saif al Dawla, led to the fall of dead and injured.”

One source specified that five cluster bombs struck the area.
