Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R1482)
Between 10 and 30 civilians were reported killed and dozens wounded in a raid of concussion rockets on Yaqid Al Adas, Aleppo, according to multiple sources – though it was unclear whether Russia or the Assad regime were responsible.
Khalid al-Qasim, a field activist in Northern Aleppo, told Ara News that the death toll was as high as 30 civilians and that Russian warplanes were responsible for the event: “The Russian warplanes committed a horrific massacre in the northern countryside of Aleppo after targeting civilian houses in the town of Yaqed Al Adas with a number of concussion rockets, causing 30 deaths and dozens of wounded, including women and children.”
Most sources attributed responsibility for the event to Russia, whilst some did not apportion blame.
Syrian Network for Human Rights, however, who put the death toll at “at least 18 civilians dead”, reported that “government warplanes” were responsible for the raid on Yaqid Al Adas.
Aleppo AMC reported that “more than ten” civilians had died and that most were women and children – a fact that was also reported by Syria News Time – however, there was no further detail of the identification of the victims to confirm this.
HNN’s list of martyrs states that 25 civilians were killed “following Russian enemy raids” on Yaqid Al Adas.
All of the sources that mention wounded civilians, state that there were “dozens”, however, no further detail is known.
