Three civilians including one woman died and six others were injured in an airstrike on Salheen, according to local sources – though reports were conflicted as to whether this was an attack by Russia or the Syrian regime.

According to an initial report by LCCSY, three civilians including a woman were killed and several others injured in Russian strikes on Salheen.

However, in a second report, the source didn’t identify the “warplanes” which they said conducted the strikes.

The Shaam News Network reported that “Russian warplanes continue to commit massacres against the people of Aleppo”, putting the death toll in Salheen at three with a “large number” of others wounded.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other sources also mentioned raids by warplanes on Salheen, but did not identify them.

According to TRT, Russia and the regime shelled Salheen. It published an image of a wounded man.
