About 30 people were allegedly killed and 80 injured in the bombing of a refugee camp in Sarmada, located 30 kilometers from Aleppo. It is controlled by militants and accommodates up to 2,000 people. There are no confirmed photos or videos which depict the perpetrator of the attack. However, pro-militant sources argue that this was an airstrike.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest denied at a press briefing that US-led coalition warplanes were on a mission in the stricken area. UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond immediately rushed to blame the bombing on the Syrian government.
