Between five and seven civilians including one woman and one child were killed – and many injured – in airstrikes on the Al Murja neighbourhood in Aleppo – though reports were conflicted as to whether the attack was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.

The Shaam News Network reported that Russian warplanes using cluster bombs were responsible, leading to the death of seven people.

SNN noted: “Russian jets have raided Marjah district using rockets containing cluster bombs that are internationally prohibited,” and led to the  fall of seven martyrs and  many  wounded.

They stated that the White Helmets were still removing un-exploded bombs, adding that cluster bombs were forbidden internationally, explaining that they  “explode before they reach the earth’s surface and containing hundreds of bomblets spread over a wide area after the explosion, it is possible that the number of these bombs settle on the surface of the ground without exploding, becoming a threat [that] may remain for decades.“

But the Syrian Network for Human Rights, who put the death toll at three including one woman and open child, blamed missiles from regime warplanes.

The VDC also listed two Unidentified males.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
