Up to five civilians including children died and more were wounded in an airstrike on Karam Tahan, local sources reported – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible for the casualties.

According to Arabstoday, “four people were killed and three were injured due to three Russian warplanes raids in Karm Al-Tahhan”.

Zakaria Nassan reported “a bombardment in Karm Al-Tahhan in Aeppo with missiles, killing five people including children and injuring others including women and children”, but didn’t identify the culprit.

Qasioun blamed “explosive barrels”, while Buraq published graphic footage depicting “horrifying scenes after shelling by Assad warplanes”.

Other sources blamed both Russia and the regime or didn’t name the culprit.
