An entire family of four were killed when an airstrike hit their home in the night in Muweleh Shimaliya, local media said. Sources all blamed Russian warplanes for the airstrikes.

It is unclear whether this strike occurred on the 19th or 20th of October. Images suggest it occurred during the night.

Other civilians were reportedly wounded, but no specific numbers were given.

Many of the wounded were allegedly in a critical condition, and some were transported to hospital or other medical facilities to receive treatment.

Images show members of the family being pulled up from the rubble following “two raids on their home”.
