Airwars assessment
As many as 28 civilians died and up to 57 more were wounded in airstrikes on the Sukkari neighbourhood in Aleppo, according to local media – though sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.
Sources reported three or four raids, with the lowest civilian death toll given as 12 by Ara news.
Syria News Desk reported that “20 civilians were killed, including five children, and more than 15 others were wounded due to the Russian warplanes targeting the popular vegetable market and residential buildings in the central neighborhood of al Sukkari with two rockets. Abu Mohammed al-Halabi of Syria News Desk said that buildings collapsed on top of their occupants”.
Smart was among many sources attributing the event to Moscow. It reported that as well as the strike on the vegetable market, there was shelling “near Al-Ikhlas mosque”. It put the death toll as 28 civilians including 17 women and children with a further 49 people injured.
Elwatan also said 28 died but added that as many as 57 were also wounded.
According to LCCSY, also blaming Russia, most of those killed and wounded were women and children – victims of “two vacuum missile attacks on the residential houses”.
However, Zamanalwasl, AMC and Alitihadpress said that the regime was responsible.
A number of other sources didn’t apportion blame, referring only to “warplanes”.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:
