Seven people were reported killed in alleged Russian or regime raids on Bab Al-Hadeed, Aleppo.

Syria News blamed Russia for “warplane shelling in various areas in Aleppo including Bab Al-Hadeed.” Halab News equally blamed Russia in a YouTube video covering the first moments of shelling. However, Islam Memo said “the regime launched 8 warplane raids in Bab Al Hadeed”.

Halab Today also blamed the regime in a tweet, saying: “Activists warn people not to get close to the cluster bombs which were thrown by regime warplane in Bab Al Hadeed.”

Other sources did not state who was responsible for the raids.

LCCSY reported that 7 people were killed in warplane shelling on Bab Al-Hadeed. The same was reported by Alamawi and Al Jazeera in tweets, but none attributed responsibility.

In a video by AMC the White Helmets can be seen recovering a body from under the rubble in Bab Al Hadeed. Aba_272 also tweeted pictures of a rescue operation. Lastly, a video posted on Facebook by Halab Alshuhada showes the “destruction of the shelling on Bab Al-Hadeed, Albasha street.”
