According to sources, both Russian and Assad regime aircraft carried out missile attacks on Al Sukkari at noon on August 2nd 2016. Sources stated that not only artillery, but rocket launchers, missiles and a vacuum missile were used in the raid on the neighbourhood. Only one source reported that the aircraft was Russian.

Multiple sources including LCCSY and Halab News said that one woman was killed in the raid. Another singular source, Enabbaladi News, does however state that three people were killed. No names were given.

Shahba Press claimed that more than two people were wounded in the attack; however, a Youtube video posted by the White Helmets showed many more people being taken to field hospitals in the aftermath of the incident.
