(Previous Incident Code: R2632)

Up to five men were killed in alleged Russian aerial shelling of Lataminah, local media said, though it was unclear whether the victims were a part of the armed opposition or civilians.

Several reports, such as HalabTodayTV and @AleppoAMC, reported that the airstrikes “killed and wounded civilians.”

However, Step News Agency reported that the strikes killed “four military personnel” in addition to another seven wounded.

It is unclear whether the reports talk about the same victims, or whether both civilians and militants were killed in the incident.

Until confirmed otherwise, the five named victims will be treated as civilians.

Between two and seven more civilians were reportedly left wounded.
