Airwars assessment
Up to two children were killed in regime and/or Russian shelling in the village of Tadel in the countryside of Aleppo on August 10th, 2021, according to multiple sources.
The majority of sources reported the death of one child and the injury of two of her siblings. The child who died was named by four sources as Rayan al-Hassan, while two others named her as Lian al-Hassan. She was reportedly one and half years old. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that one of the injured children, who had been taken to a hospital in Turkey, also then passed away that same day. He was identified by other sources as Abdel Ghafour Al-Hassan, aged between four and six. According to Syria TV, he had shrapnel in his head.
The surviving sibling had her leg amputated, according to multiple sources. She was identified by @pressrahhal as 12-year-old Rama.
The family’s house was reportedly hit by artillery shelling leading to the casualties. Most sources placed responsibility on regime forces, while @s2udFqewzZOZrQU implicated just Russian forces and other sources, including the Syrian Civil Defence, said it was regime and Russian artillery shelling. @anasanas84 meanwhile blamed the “Russian and Iranian militias”, as did @pressrahhal.
Baladi News reported that the bombing coincided with an intense flight of Russian reconnaissance planes over the region.
