A woman was reportedly killed in airstrikes which struck Jib Abyad, Aleppo after midnight. Local media was conflicted as to who was to blame, with Syrian Network for Human Rights blaming the “Russian-Syrian alliance”, while most others blamed Moscow.

Most sources reported on the “the martyrdom of a woman and the injury of a man” in the bombardment.

The White Helmets said that they “pulled a woman from under the rubble and transferred wounded people to field hospitals for treatment.”

The Syrian Network for Human Rights was the only source to specify that Jib Abyad Mosque was struck and rendered inoperable in the aerial bombardment.
