Up to six civilians including three to four children were killed in Aleppo, according to multiple local sources.
Aljazeera reported that a combined operation of the Regime forces and Russian fighter jets resulted in the loss of civilian life.
The highest death toll, placed at six, was initially reported by Baladi, who alleged one child was killed and an unknown number of others wounded – it blamed the regime.
@SyriaWatanNews tweeted a limited account of events, however detailed munitions used: reportedly “a mortar shell”, fell into the neighbourhood and consequently there was “news of injuries”.
Gulfeyes also documented six victims, including one child, while others were injured, “after being hit by shells fired by opposition factions on the Khalidiya neighborhood and Nile Street in the western part under the control of government forces in Aleppo”.
At present it is unclear which faction was responsible for the deaths of the civilians documented; Russia received three allegations, the Regime two, the remaining sources referred to “artillery shelling” and “warplanes”.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
