Airwars assessment

Between one and 24 civilians were killed and up to 13 wounded in intense air strikes with barrel bombs and napalm on the al Marja neighbourhood of Aleppo, local sources reported.

About half the sources stated only that “warplanes” were involved, while the other half said Russian planes were responsible.

One source, the Shaam News Network (SNN), referred to “the Russian/Assad enemy planes.”

A number of sources, including SNN, Twitt-book News, ALAMAWI, and Syria2011 News, claimed four deaths. However, Syriahr News and @RFS_NORTH referred only to “a man martyred.”

@BNN_2016 tweeted that “dozens” were killed in al Marja.

LCCSY and @AleppoAMC said that people were buried in the rubble and that one girl had been dug out alive.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Local media reported between five and six dead from airstrikes in the neighbourhood of al Sukkari, Aleppo. Five fatalities were identified by name by both Halab News and Syria2011 News. In addition, both sources claimed a sixth death, of an anonymous, 35-year-old individual.

Most sources agreed that Russian warplanes were responsible. For example, LCCSY tweeted that “Russian aviation targeted the  neighbourhood of Sukkari in the city with cluster bombs.”

In a Facebook post, LCCSY also said that people were still stuck under the rubble after Russian warplanes carried out missile attacks on the residential buildings in the Maadi, Salhin, Marja, Sukkari, and Qatirji neighbourhoods in Aleppo city.”

The Syrian Network for Human Rights stated that “fixed-wing warplanes, believed to be Russian, fired missiles targeting the vicinity of a vegetable market in the Al Sukkari neighbourhood”.

But other sources said regime warplanes or helicopters were responsible. Shahbapress tweeted that regime planes used barrel bombs in al Sukkari, while JisirTV referred to “the massacre perpetrated by regime forces.”

Some sources did not distinguish between the regime and Russian forces: The Shaam News Network claimed: “after the end of the truce, the Russian/Assad enemy planes raided the neighbourhoods of the city of Aleppo and the surrounding towns.”

A YouTube video posted by The White Helmets showed attempts to extinguish a fire in a building.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

Between 12 and 20 civilians died and up to 21 more were wounded in an airstrike on a UN/Syrian Arab Red Crescent aid convoy (reportedly consisting of up to 12 trucks) in Urma al Kubra, Aleppo, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were to blame. Amnesty condemned the attack as “a flagrant violation of international law”.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that “government helicopters and fixed-wing warplanes, believed to be Russian, took part in a concentrated attack that comprised multiple airstrikes on a center for the Red Crescent in eastern Urm Al Kubra town. The bombardment lasted for three hours.”

SN4HR went on to say that “government helicopters dropped no less than four barrel bombs while the fixed-wing Russian warplanes carried out nine airstrikes using missiles and heavy machine guns. The bombardment mostly targeted the Syrian Red Arab Crescent (SARC) center and destroyed a U.N. aid convoy of trucks that were supposed to deliver aid to warehouses belonging to the Red Crescent center. Additionally, the bombardment targeted also medical and civil defence teams who tried to rescue the wounded and injured relief workers.”

The relief trucks were from the Red Crescent organization and were staffed by volunteers. Multiple local and global media sources reported that the bombardment lasted roughly three hours, and only struck Red Crescent trucks and a Red Crescent supply center. LCCSY, for instance, stated that the warplanes “caused the burning of more than 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid, and the destruction of the center.”

Step News Agency, who put the death toll at 12, said that all of the victims were “employees and volunteers” of the Red Crescent.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights published a report which argued that the strike was purposefully targeted: “The frequency of the strikes during the three hours, meaning that more than one missile was used and more than one strike were carried out so the attack wasn’t indiscriminate or by accident. In fact, four barrel bombs were dropped and the area was targeted with several missiles. Also, heavy machine guns were used to keep medics and civil defence teams away.”

Additionally, there was a statement by Mr. Stephen O’Brien, United Nations Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, which said: “Notification of the convoy – which planned to reach some 78,000 people – had been provided to all parties to the conflict. So the Russian and Syrian regime were already aware of the place and the time at which the convoy was passing.”

The incident occured at approximately 7:30 pm local time.

Local media reported that 15 civilians including three children died and dozens more were wounded in alleged Russian airstrikes on the town of Hor, outside Aleppo – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russian warplanes of regime helicopters dropping barrel bombs were to blame.

Several sources reported twelve fatalities: for instance, Shahed-ayan news stated “12 people were killed and others wounded in a massacre committed by warplanes.

However, both Syria2011 News and Halab news published matching lists of 15 casualties.

Syria News Desk disagreed with claims that Russian planes were to blame and referred to helicopters instead. The source reported that “12 civilians, including three children, were killed and more than 15 others wounded yesterday [Sept 19th] when helicopters dropped two explosive barrels targeting houses in the center of Hor”.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights, who put the death toll at 14, blamed “government warplanes”.

Five to six civilians including several children were killed in airstrikes on Al Mayadeen, outside Deir Al-Zour, local sources reported. All but one source blamed Russia for the event.

Step News said “four civilians were killed and others injured in a similar raid targeting al Jaish street and Al Haram street near al Saraya in al Mayadeen in the eastern countryside.”

SyrianPC news also described “widespread destruction in residential buildings.”

@syriaalive54 referenced “three martyrs, including a girl, who died after being bombed by the Russian aviation with cluster bombs on the city of the eastern Al Mayadin # countryside at dawn today.”

Several other local sources also claimed several casualties from Russian cluster bomb airstrikes at dawn.

However, one source, the Syrian Network for Human Rights, attributed the event to the Assad regime, reporting the death of “three civilians including a girl when government warplanes missiles fired on Al Mayadein city in Deir Ez-Zour governorate”.

Syrian Press Center added that the strikes “targeted the area around the Saraya building in al Mayadeen with two cluster bombs”.
