Up to eight civilians including one child died in a casualty event in the Al Slaheen neighbourhood of Aleppo, local sources reported – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Assad regime were to blame.

According to Syria News Desk: “seven civilians were killed and five wounded in the Al Salheen neighbourhood of central Aleppo. Russian aviation targeted a residential building consisting of three floors.”

Halab News also put the death toll at seven, named the victims and included ‘3 unknown martyrs’. However, Jisrtv, Aletihad Press and Syrian Press centre blamed the regime. Syrian press Center put the number killed at eight.

A number of sources reported that the deaths had been caused by helicopters throwing explosive barrels on the neighbourhood. Syria Newsdesk reported that vacuum missiles were used in Salheen.
