A day after an airstrike on a humanitarian convoy, another airstrike night in northern Syria killed five medics which were responding to the earlier bomb attack. The medical team had just arrived at the scene of the previous attack in a town held by rebels when the area was attacked again and ambulance drivers as well as nurses who had arrived to transport wounded patients were killed. Throughout the last years, the Syrian government has been accused of carrying out "double tap" attacks on paramedics and rescue workers.

Nonetheless, it is still unclear who carried out the attack. The Syrian Observatory said that either Syrian or Russian warplanes could be responsible.

This is also unclear about Monday's attack on the aid convoy. Unnamed US officials claimed the strikes were too sophisticated and could have therefore not been done by the Syrian army, but by the Russian government.

In response, Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman said that the US government does not have any facts to support the accusations.
