Five children from the same family died in an airstrike on As Suknhah, according to local sources – though reports were conflicted as to whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.

According to Aranews, who also blamed Russia, the five children were aged between five and 14 years.
Eldorar reported that Russian raid skilled “five children on the spot” and injured 14 other non-combatants.

However, Egypt Today and Eremnews blamed the regime.
