Airwars assessment

In a mass civilian casualty event, as many as 82 civilians were killed, and 340 more were wounded, when six surface rockets and three missiles struck a popular market in Atareb. Sources blamed both the Syrian regime and Russia for these raids.

According to sources, 100 shops as well as a police station were destroyed. As many as seven prisoners and 13 policemen were killed asa result.

With the hundreds that were injured, the hospitals were overrun with not enough beds or staff to attend to the wounded. One source reported that six civilians had limbs amputated.

Members of the Syrian Civil Defence spent days pulling bodies and wounded civilians out of the rubble. Many of the injuries were serious, and SN4HR suggested that the death toll was likely to rise.

There were between four and ten missing victims in the days to follow. These include, Ammar Hussam Barakat; Ahmed Sayed Ibrahim; Naji al-Sheikh Ibrahim (was detained at the police station Atareb); Khaled Marzafi (he was detained at al-Atareb police station).

Reports were published more than ten days after the strike bodies were still being recovered from the wreckage.

The incident occured at 14:00:00 local time.
