Airwars assessment
Between four and six civilians including two children died and as many as 30 more were wounded in an alleged Russian or Syrian Regime airstrike on the two camps for displaced person near the town of Maarat al Atareb.
Halab News Network reported there were no less than eight raids, with the use of cluster bombs in the vicinity.
The camps which made up approximately 50 tents, were reportedly left shattered. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, “one of the camps is located in the area between Ma’aarat al-Atareb and road al-Sahara and has more than 30 tents, while the other is located between Ma’aarat al-Atareb and the road to al-Atareb town and has about 20 tents. The airstrikes on both camps damaged and burned about 10 tents”. The Observatory said that 30 people were injured in the raid, though Syria News Desk put the number injured much lower at 10.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights added that the missiles also struck an ambulance at the Civil Defence Centre in Maarat al Atareb.
HNN claimed that the bombardment was so intense that ambulances were unable to reach the area for some time.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
