Three civilians were injured in an air or artillery strike on Hamidiya. Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame. Some blamed the Syrian regime, while others blamed Russia for the raids.
Euphrates Post tweeted later that there were some ” civilian casualties” without specifying a number.
Halab Today called the raid a Russian air and missile bombardment. RFS called it a land-to-land missile attack, however, they blamed Syrian regime forces.
There was allegedly some material damage to the neighbourhood.
There are no other details at this time.
