Airwars assessment
Four civilians including one child and two women died and up to nine more were wounded in an alleged Russian or Assad regime airstrike on the city of Batbo in Aleppo, according to local media.
Halab News Network reported that there had been “four martyrs including two women after Russian planes targeted Batbo, in the western Aleppo countryside, with vacuum missiles at noon today [Oct 5th]”.
Almost all sources pointed solely to Russia as the culprit.
However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights and the Shaam News Network claimed that the strikes were carried out by ‘government forces and its allies’ and by ‘Assad and Russia’.
Three victims were named except one unidentified woman.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
