Two civilians died and others were injured in a casualty incident in Al Maysar, Aleppo, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame.

According to SMO, Smart and LCCSY Russia was responsible. Smart alleged cluster bombs used in the attack. 

However, Syriamubashar, A_Alhorane and JHisrtv blamed explosive barrel bombs dropped from a helicopter, while the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed “regime missiles”.
