Airwars assessment
Up to 18 civilians including two children died in airstrikes on Al Kalassa, according to local sources. While most blamed the regime, others alleged that Russia was responsible.
At least eight died when “suspected Russian warplanes missiles” fired on the neighborhood, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights. In a later report it put the death toll higher at 10, including two children, with 10 other non-combatants injured. A tweet posted a picture of one of the victims.
In a summary of Russian raids carried out on April 28th, LCCSY also said 15 had died in two strikes. Qasyoun News also blamed Russia in a tweet, as did Amawi news, citing Halab News. However, testimony in a video by Umayya News said the regime carried out strikes on Al Kalassa, and that “many people working in the restaurant died and a family“, though numbers were not given.
Ara News also blamed the regime, while a later video by Qasyoun News cited testimony saying “so far we have retrieved more than 15 bodies, torn apart to pieces, of men, women and children. And civil defense is still trying to rescue people from the rubble.”
The White Helmets said 14 died, and also blamed the regime.
Likewise, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the regime was responsible for all incidents in Aleppo over the previous seven days. It was cited in an article by BBC Arabic, which stated: “Among the dead in Aleppo over the past seven days, [there are] 34 children and 20 women, according to the Syrian Observatory (…).” Shaam News Network referred to both regime and Russian planes carrying out strikes in Aleppo in recent days, and did not specify which was responsible. Al Jazeera also referred to both Russia and the Syrian regime and listed eight videos showing death and destruction in Aleppo.
Al-Buraq Media Institution put the number killed higher at 18, but did not say who was responsible. In a later report it said that 44 people, of which 18 in Al Kallassa, were killed by the regime in various strikes in Aleppo that day.
MBC news shared 30 photos from various places in Aleppo that were the targets of shelling. The source did not specify where each photo one was taken. Ahmad Seif published photos on Facebook of children wounded that day in Bustan Al-Qaser.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
