Up to two civilians including a child died and four more were wounded in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrike on Aleppo’s al-Haidariya neighbourhood, according to sources on the ground.

Most sources reported the death of one civilian, who according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was an unidentified child.
