An unspecified number of civilians died in airstrikes on Aleppo’s Tareeq Al Bab neighbourhood, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible.

@DamasCoordinate and @ShahbaPress blamed Russia. Arabic.cnn reported that both Russia and the regime had carried out strikes. A number of other sources didn’t apportion blame.

According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “government warplanes bombed a popular market in the Tareeq al-Bab neighbourhood of Aleppo, causing a massacre, in addition to the destruction and damaged some shops, on August 16.”

Activist, Hathifa Al Yaman Abu al Majd, reported that it was in-fact a “land to land missile” which struck the neighbourhood.
