Airwars assessment
Between four and 17 civilians were reportedly killed in the Al Ma’adi neighbourhood in Aleppo – though sources were conflicted as to whether this was the result of Russian airstrikes or shelling by the Syrian regime.
Syriansnews reported the attack as a joint action: “Seventeen civilians were killed on Wednesday [Sept 28th] and dozens were injured – in an initial toll – in artillery shelling by Assad’s forces and strikes by Russian aircraft.”
Many sources reported that a bakery was hit in the strike. For example, Enabbaladi said: “Six civilians were killed and dozens more injured in a bomb attack on a bakery in the Ma’adi neighborhood of Aleppo.”
According to the Step News Agency, the strike hit the bakery “when people had gathered to buy bread in the morning.”
Step went on to say that “the Assad regime and its ally Russia deliberately have been bombarding vital centers and targeting civilians in Aleppo city’s neighbourhoods for the tenth day in a row”.
The lowest death count of four was given by the Syrian Network for Human Rights.
But Syriapost1, AlHadath, 24Aleppo and others said that as many as 17 people perished.
Syria News Desk reported that three of the victims were children.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:
