Up to five civilians including three children died in airstrikes on Kamari, Aleppo, according to multiple sources – though sources are conflicted as to whether this was the work of Russia or the Assad regime.

A tweet by Jabalybarra (an Al Jazeera-affiliated photographer in Aleppo) said a child was killed in the Al-Salheen neighbourhood: “Reports says he was killed while eating. A first aider was also thought to be killed on the same strike.” He did not say who was responsible.

A video posted by the Mohammed Al-Halabi YouTube channel showed the “aftermath of the Russian and regime airstrikes on Al Mash-had neighbourhood“. According to the Shaam News Network, three children from the same family died in Russian raids on the Kamari neighborhood.

However, the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed the regime for the death of the three children.
