Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: R433)
Between four and 14 civilians died in alleged Russian airstrikes on Qabasein.
In a news roundup the Shaam News Network reported “Russian enemy planes carried out dozens of strikes on the towns of Al Bab, Manbej, Jarablus and the town of Qabaseen causing the fall of dozens of dead and wounded in al Bab and Qabaseen.“
Ara News placed the casualty toll far higher than the Syrian Network’s estimate of four dead, citing media activist Nasser Tlajabina of Aleppo: “The bombing of residential buildings near Rehaoui Mosque and Jabal al-Sheikh Aqeel in town of Qabasin in the countryside killed at least 14 civilians, including four children and a number of women, and injured around 50.”
VDC has named four adult male civilian victims at Qabasein that day – though attributes their deaths to ‘air force shelling’.
