Three children and one or two women, reportedly from the same family, were killed in the village of Janat al Salama, in the countryside of eastern Aleppo, according to local media.

All sources but one blamed Russia for the event. The majority of reports agreed Russian warplanes were to blame. Shahbapress, for example, referred to “the martyrdom of three children and a woman in the Russian raids on the village of Janat al Salama.”  Baladi Network, however, claimed that the warplanes were the regime’s.
