As many as three civilians were killed, inducing a pregnant woman and her unborn child, and up to three civilians were wounded, following an alleged Russian and/or Syrian regime airstrike on Khan Sheikhoun, local media reported.
Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame with some attributing blame to Russian warplanes, while others blamed the Syrian regime. One source even blamed both belligerents for the raid.
According to @MousaAlomar, residential homes were struck in the raid. Photographic evidence showed the extent of devastation to the homes.
