Syrian Activists Say More Air Strikes Conducted in Khan Sheikhoun

We Are Change

Activist groups claim air strikes carried out in Syria on Friday and Saturday; unclear who conducted them.

New air strikes in the Syrian city of Khan Sheikhoun, which suffered chemical attacks on Tuesday, have been carried out, according to “regional activist” groups in the country. However, it is currently not being reported who has carried out the air strikes, with a Russian frigate carrying cruise missiles recently stationed in the area in the wake of the U.S. air strikes on Thursday.

At least one woman was killed and three other people injured in Saturday’s strike, two activists in Khan Sheikhoun said, which adds to the nine civilians and four Syrian serviceman killed and two missing from the initial U.S. air strikes in the town. The uncertainty about who conducted the air strikes is in light of a U.S.-Russian memorandum on Syrian air space being suspended by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday.

This is a developing story. Stay tuned for further updates.
