Airwars assessment
Up to nine civilians including children and a woman died and as many as dozens more were wounded in airstrikes on Al Jeineh, local media said – though it was unclear whether this was the work of Russia or the Assad regime. Many reports mentioned the use of cluster bombs in the attacks.
Syria News Desk, blaming Russia, put the death count at six with “dozens more injured”. It added that the strikes “targeted the local council in the building”.
According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “on Saturday noon 13 August 2016, alleged Russian warplanes fired missiles at the residential homes located in western Al Jeyna village, located in the western suburbs of Aleppo governorate which s under the control of armed opposition factions. As a result, nine individuals were killed including two children and one woman.”
However, regime involvement couldn’t be ruled out, with Alburaq reporting that both Russian and Syrian regime warplanes had been carrying out raids over Aleppo during.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
