Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: 11 August 2026

Three to four civilians died and up to dozens more were reported wounded in Masaken Hanano neighbourhood of Aleppo following suspected Russian attacks.

A number of sources did not name a culprit and described the form of attack as “helicopter aircraft” or “warplane bombardment”. Midline alleged that the Syrian regime was the culprit, while @MePanorama blamed both belligerents. According to multiple sources the “Hanano residences” were struck.

LCCSY suspected both “Russian planes” and “Assad’s helicopters” were to blame. Spm-syria on the other hand said “the Russian killing machine” was responsible and reported women and children among the dead – it placed the death toll at five.

@SMARTNewsAgency held the Syrian regime responsible – it reported the death of a civilian girl by “two bombs by the regime’s airliners”.
