Four or five civilians died in an airstrike on Castello road, according to local sources – though it’s unclear rom reports whether Russia or the Syrian regime were responsible.

A report by LCCSY said that five civilians died in an alleged Russian airstrike.

But AlmokhtasarSyrianpc and LCCSY were among other sources who blamed the regime.

RadioAlkul said that the regime carried out artillery shelling on the road.

However, Abara reported that Russian and regime warplanes conducted raids.

Other sources reported strikes but didn’t identify the warplanes responsible.
