Seven civilians including two children died in alleged Russian or regime airstrikes on Hazza, local media said. There were reports that Russia conducted two strikes, the second of which killed a member of the civil defence and a medic.

According to @RaedAlSaleh3, “The martyr Ayman Jamal al-Din, a volunteer of the Civil Defense volunteers, was killed in a double air strike by Russian warplanes that targeted ambulance teams who worked to save civilians in the town of Hazza”.

@SiegeWatch reported “Mohammad Mohammad al-Tair, a member of the medical staff at Mercy Hospital in #Hazzeh” as killed “when his ambulance was directly targeted by pro-government forces.”

The Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed “Syrian/Russian” missiles for the death of four civilians including a child and a woman.

@AJABreaking noted the use of “chlorine gas” by the regime.
