In what appears to be a separate incident from the Maskaneh event previously listed, five non- combatants were reported killed when Russian warplanes allegedly struck a convoy of trucks carrying aid to the areas controlled by rebels in the northern countryside of Aleppo.

Shaam News Network cited the Anatolia News Agency as saying the trucks were carrying fuel for the White Helmets in Aleppo when the road connecting Kafrnasseh and Ihress was targeted by waplanes. The Network added: “Russia has recently been targetting trucks carrying relief materials and commercial goods from northern areas in Syria near the border crossings with Turkey.”

A reporter at the scene for Zaman said five civilians died and ‘several were injured’ in what was described as the third day of such Russian attacks.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
