Between 15 and 40 civilians were killed in two separate air raids using thermobaric rockets targeting a residential neighbourhood in Armanaz according to local media. Sources all blamed either Russian or Syrian regime raids for the attack.
Most sources alleged the second airstrike was aimed at Civil Defence teams and other civilians trying to remove victims of the first strike from underneath the rubble, which would explain the extraordinarily high death toll.
More than 30 houses were totally destroyed.
12 rockets vacuum missiles were used, according to Syrian Civil Defence.
Some sources reported that dozens of others were wounded, however the highest count is Smart News who reported 75 were injured.
ZamanAlwasl reported the a Sukhoi 24 plane belonging to the regime carried -out a second strike as the White Helmets and ambulance teams attended the scene.
