Airwars assessment
Thirteen civilians, including three to five children and two women, were killed and up to 30 more were wounded is missile strikes on Malas town, according to local media – though reports were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were to blame.
Reports said that two of the four to six strikes directly hit Al Amal hospital, which specializes in pediatrics. At least four of those killed were hospital workers and both the operation and ICU rooms were completely destroyed. According The Guardian, the hospital provided medical care to an area of 70,000 – people that didn’t have access to another hospital close by – and received 250 patients a day.
The majority of sources assigned responsibility to Russian warplanes, but the Syrian Network for Human Rights identified the planes as belonging to government forces and their allies; while Alaraby and @ALAMAWI identified only the regime as being responsible.
Smart described the plane as being a Russian model “Sakhuy 24” warplane.
Graphic Videos and images documented the structural destruction and the injuries to the victims of the attack.
