According to The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least one civilian was killed and 10 injured, in dozens of alleged airstrikes by Russian warplanes. The Observatory said it expected the death toll to rise, as some people were left in a critical condition. A victim was later named by the VDC.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that Russian warplanes shelled the middle of the neighbourhood with several rockets, which as well as killing one non-combatant destroyed two houses.
