Rocket Attack in Al-Bab Results in Casualties

مقتل مدني وإصابة 14 شخصاً بقصف صاروخي على مدينة الباب شرقي حلب

A rocket attack targeted the city of Al-Bab in eastern Aleppo countryside, resulting in one death and around 14 injuries. The assault was launched from areas under the joint control of the Syrian regime forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

A reporter from Syria TV reported that the strikes hit residential neighborhoods, including the "Al-Khayrat" mosque, causing significant damage to the affected sites. The timing of the attack coincided with students being present in schools, creating a state of panic and fear among children.

Additionally, the Syrian Civil Defense confirmed that the bombardment targeted residential areas, a mosque, a school, and a household gas filling plant in Al-Bab.

It was noted that the number of civilian casualties included one dead and 14 others seriously injured, indicating a preliminary tally from the missile strikes originating from areas controlled by the regime and SDF.

It is worth mentioning that cities and towns in northern and eastern Aleppo countryside frequently endure artillery and rocket fire from regime and SDF-controlled areas, often resulting in fatalities and injuries among civilians.
