Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R1049)
Ten named civilians died and up to dozens more were wounded in airstrikes on the Nour bakery in the Al Omal neighbourhood, local media reported. The majority of sources blamed Russia – though several pointed to the Assad regime.
LCCSY, the Shaam News Network and Syrian Press Center were among local outlets attributing the event to Moscow.
According to Syria News Desk, “warplanes, thought to have been Russian, carried out more than four raids which hit the Nour bakery and residential buildings near the centre of the neighbourhood. The dead included three workers in the bakery. There were reports that people remained trapped under the rubble. The bombing resulted in the complete destruction of the bakery and the burning of three shops amid widespread material damage”.
Reporting by the Syrian Network for Human Rights was confused, with conflicting posts blaming the regime and then Russia. It said that one woman was among the dead with 15 more non-combatants wounded. Sm-sy put the number injured still higher, at “dozens”.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights joined several other sources in not apportioning blamed. It added that a child was among the ten who died.
Alaraby was the only other source that said this was the work of the regime.
