In a large-scale civilian casualty incident, referred to as “a massacre”, between 17 and 28 civilians, including multiple families, died in alleged Russian or Assad regime air and/or artillery strikes on Aleppo’s Bab al Nairab, on what looks to be road between bab al Nayrab and Jib al Qibba. Multiple sources said that the strikes hit a large gathering of displaced people who were attempting to move from the city’s eastern to western suburbs on foot.
Almodon was almong many sources blaming the regime. It reported that “the raids targeted a large group of families who were planning to leave for southern neighborhoods and old Aleppo on foot. The Civil Defense said that more than 25 people, including children and women, were killed in the raid.”
@Mamoun_sy put the death toll as high as 28 with 40 more wounded, and also said that the regime was responsible.
The same figures were given by Syria News Desk, though this source attributed the civilian harm to “Russian warplanes targeting [the neighbourhood) with parachute bombs”.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights put the toll at 17 and pointed to Russia, while Enabbaladi blamed “Russian and Syrian planes”.
