Eight civilians, including children and women, were reportedly injured as warplanes, possible belonging to Russia, carried out airstrikes in Al-Hamraa, Hama, local media reported.

While the sources agreed that the strikes, that took place during the night, wounded up to eight civilians, they were not clear in terms of culpability.

Step News Agency was the only source that identified Russia as the responsible party, while the remaining sources merely referred to “warplanes” and unidentified “air raids”.
