Airwars assessment
Between nine and 27 civilians including six children were reportedly killed and dozens more wounded in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on the Al Shia’ar neighbourhood of Aleppo.
LCCSF reported the lowest number: “Five martyrs and more than 15 wounded were reported among civilians due to Russian airstrikes targeting Al Shia’ar neighbourhood in the besieged part of Aleppo.”
Alamawi and Maryam Gheytani reported that 24 people, among them many children and women, were killed.
But Syriansnews put the death toll as high as 27.
According to Sdusyria, four families were trapped after the rubble as one of missiles struck a residential building.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said that the incident took place in Al Albesa Al Rejjaliya Street, while Step News added that a four-storey building was hit.
While most sources pointed directly to Russia as the culprit, Douma.Revolution referred to a “bombing by the aircraft of Assad and his ally Russia”, while the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed “government forces and its allies”.
Syriapost1 and other sources named the following victims.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
