Between three and four civilians were killed and at least 10 others were wounded in air or artillery strikes on Aleppo’s Al Fardous neighbourhood, although local sources were conflicted as to whether Russian or regime planes were responsible.
According to sources such as @ShahbaPress and @AleppoAMC, explosive barrel bombs were dropped in the attack. The majority of sources listed four as the number of civilians killed, while only Syrian Network for Human Rights reported three civilian casualties.
It was unclear whether Russian or regime planes carried out the airstrikes against Al Fardous. According to both Syrian Network for Human Rights and Micro News, the airstrikes were conducted by regime planes. However, the Local Coordination Committees in Syria attributed the airstrikes to Russia.
A video posted by Albou Azizi shows the White Helmets rescuing injured civilians from the rubble following the airstrikes – and a video posted by Step News shows the physical destruction to buildings caused by the airstrikes.
