Between one and five civilians died in an air or artillery strike on Bei’deen, according to local sources – though reports are conflicted as to whether Russia was responsible or the Syrian regime.

The Shaam News Network, reported on alleged Russian raids with warplanes and helicopters across Aleppo and its surrounding countryside. It said that this coincided with “violent artillery shelling“, killing four civilians in the Bei’deen neighbourhood.

Other sources blamed Russian and regime warplanes:

Slnnews said that one civilian died, but Aawst put the death toll at five.

Many sources said that the regime was responsible. Step News reported that “regime artillery” was to blame, as did Smart.

According to Alresalahpress, “regime warplanes” carried out the attack.

But the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Shahed_alep said that helicopters had dropped explosive barrel bombs – though they didn’t identify the culprit.
