Opposition groups reported that Syrian armed groups initiated a significant attack on areas controlled by government forces in northwestern Syria, resulting in the seizure of territory. In response, the government and its allies conducted airstrikes and shelling to counter the insurgent advances. The violence has led to the displacement of numerous families and the suspension of aid services by humanitarian organizations.
The Syrian Civil Defense, also known as the White Helmets, stated that at least 18 individuals, including three children and two women, were killed in airstrikes in western Aleppo. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights attributed the airstrikes to Russian warplanes.
