One named civilian died and between three and 15 others were injured in an airstrike on Tall Hassan’s main mosque, near Aleppo – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia, the Assad regime or the US-led Coalition were to blame.
Lens Young Manbij reported that “A short while ago a Coalition raid on the village of Tal Hassan near the town of Maskana killed Hamdi al Saleh and seriously injured his wife, daughter and granddaughter as well as destroying a mosque and a house in the village.”
However VDC and the Syrian Network blamed Mr al-Saleh’s death on the regime. But LCCSY was among other sources that blamed Russia.
Halab News put the death toll at three with 15 more wounded.
In their May 2020 civilian casualty report, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in this strike as “non-credible”, stating that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area at that time.
