One child – a six-year-old girl – died and up to six more civilians including another child and two women were wounded in an alleged Russian or regime airstrike on Kafr Karmin on the night of April 11th-12th, according to local media.

Qasioun reported: “A girl was killed and others were wounded early today [April 12th], when Russian warplanes bombed the village of Kafr Kermin in the western countryside of Aleppo. The air raids also caused extensive destruction of public property.”

Most sources attributed the civilian harm to Russia, though the Syrian Network for Human Rights didn’t distinguish between Moscow or Assad as the actors.

According to SN4HR,  “the girl Amal Na’naa, age 6, from Hraitan governorate northern suburbs, was killed when Syrian-Russian alliance warplanes missiles fired on Kafr Karmin village in Aleppo governorate western suburbs on April 11, 2017.”
