Four or five civilians were killed in alleged Russian raids on the Kafr Hamra neighborhood of Aleppo. Four civilians were named by HNN, including two children and a woman.

The first three civilians were also mentioned by name by @NewsFlashAleppo. Microsyria said that attacks by Russian planes “martyred three civilians from one family.” @HalabTodayTV, tweeting on the same day as the attack, said many were “wounded and trapped under the rubble.” @Syriamubasher tweeted that three were killed and “several” wounded. SNHR also reported that two children and a woman were killed.

A White Helmets YouTube video showed a small child, covered in dust, being pulled from the rubble. Qasioun News said five were killed in the attack.

@thiqanewsagency posted a photograph of a building completely destroyed by bombing. Their tweet said five were wounded.

Almost every source claimed Russian war planes were responsible for the bombing. For instance, @eldorar1 referred to Russian warplanes, while Al Jazeera used the phrase “Russian aviation.”
