Local media reported that up to seven civilians – six of whom were named – including children and women died and dozens more were wounded in night-time airstrikes on Kafr Tkharim. The strikes reportedly hit a council building and a sports center. The majority of sources attributed this casualty event to Russia, though one report blamed warplanes belonging to the Syrian regime. Several others didn’t identify the culprit.
Halab Today TV gave the lowest death count of four – from the same family – reporting that the victims perished “after a night bombing by the Russian air force”.
According to the Shaam News Network, six from one family died. SNN said: “Russian warplanes raided the homes of civilians in the city of Kafr Tkharim, targeting the northern district with two raids, killing six people from same family, including four women and a child and wounding a number more. A mother and her child are still under the rubble”.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights also said that the sports club was destroyed, and in a subsequent post put the death toll at six from the same family.
Only once source (LCCSY) said that regime jets were responsible.
The highest death count, of seven, was given by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who said that this included two children and four women.
