Airwars assessment
Between seven and 25 civilians were reportedly killed and up to 75 more injured in airstrikes on the Bustan Al Qasr neighbourhood in Aleppo, according to local media – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.
The majority of sources attributed the event to Russia.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported: “The massacre toll rose to at least 13 victims after alleged Russian warplanes fired on Bustan Al Qasr neighbourhood in Aleppo city, September 24, 2016.” But in another tweet, SN4HR blamed the regime for the attack.
Most sources agreed with the number of 13 people killed, while others gave figures slightly below or above.
For example, Annahar News said 25 people were killed in the airstrikes.
Aleqt News and LCCSY gave the lowest estimate with seven people killed.
HNN and other sources mentioned that cluster bombs were used by the Russians in the raids.
But a number of sources, including Al Jazeera, Alkhaleejonline and Alsouria blamed both Russian and Syria aircraft.
AleppoAMC reported “nearly 70 wounded” in the attacks.
All4Syria claimed “heavy shelling with phosphorus incendiary bombs, leading to houses burning down.”
The local time of the incident is unknown.
