Smart News Agency reported that, according to a medical source, “a civilian, a nurse and a member of the Civil Defence were killed by the bombing of warplanes on the city of Al Harak.”
According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, at least three civilians were killed in the airstrikes, for which they blamed both Russian and Syrian regime forces.
Mohammad Abu Salem reported initially that Civil Defence volunteer Ibrahim Muhammad Tarad Abu Salem died in the airstrikes, and that his younger brother Anas Muhammad Tarad Abu Salem had been critically wounded. Other sources later reported the death of Anas Muhammad Trad Abu Salem, adding that the young man was a nurse.
According to Aleppo Civil Defence, Ibrahim Abu Salem died after a rocket attack on the ambulance he was in.
Abood Al Hirak identified the third victim as Ibrahim Yunis Abu Safi, who was killed when his agricultural truck was targeted by alleged Russian airstrikes. Ayham Kaloush published a photo of a severely charred body on a vehicle.
