Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported that a family of five civilians, a man, a woman and three children, sustained various injuries, as the motorcycle they were travelling on crashed into a speeding Turkish truck near al-Bab al-Jadeed Hospital in al-Bab city in the countryside of Aleppo. The five people were taken to the hospital to receive medical treatment, as the children sustained bruises and fractures, while the man and the woman entered intensive care units due to their serious wounds.
