Seven civilians including up to five children – reportedly mostly from the same family – died and up to dozens more were wounded in airstrikes on Jisr al Shoughour, according to sources on the ground – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Syrian regime were to blame.
Among sources attributing the event to Russia were LCCSY and the Syrian Network for Human Rights; both put the death toll at seven of which four were children and three were women, according to SN4HR.
