It also shows civil defense volunteers – aka the White Helmets - working on the attack scene, removing the debris and opening the roads using bulldozers. A volunteer appears in the footage saying that Russian warplanes conducted three airstrikes on residential areas in the city, but there were only slight injuries among civilians. He adds that civil defense volunteers rushed to the scene to clear it from rubble and debris. On Wednesday, Russian warplanes also perpetrated a massacre in Idlib, killing 25 civilians, mostly children and women, and injuring dozens.
