Nog troligt att Syriska flygvapnet kan flyga och bomba 3 km från gränsen till Turkiet. Turkiet lär ha reagerat omedelbart.
Ryssarna förnekar att vare sig ryska eller syriska plan varit i området. Man tror att det kan röra sig om ett raketanfall från al-Nusra, avsiktligt eller oavsiktligt.
Uppgiften om ett flyganfall kommer från enmansprojektet "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", vilket enligt ryssarna kan vara orsakat av ett intresse för att dra bort blickarna från ryssarnas konsert som hölls i Palmyra:

Thursday's attack on an Aleppo refugee camp could have been carried out by Al-Nusra Front militants, Russia's Defense Ministry says. The damage pattern suggests rocket artillery use, and air control data show no sorties in the area at the time.

"Considering the fracture pattern, seen in the pictures and videos taken at the site, the camp could have been shelled, either intentionally or by mistake, by rocket artillery, which is in active use in the area by militants from the terror group Al-Nusra Front," Major-General Igor Konashenkov, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, said on Friday.
He added that after analyzing photographs and video footage from the devastated camp available online, it became evident that "there are no airstrike shell craters or other signs of an airstrike."
The Russian Defense Ministry states there were no air sorties over the area of the refugee camp on the day of the attack or on the day prior to it.
"We have analyzed airspace objective control data for the area as of May 4 and 5, 2016. There were no flights of Russian or any other aircraft over the camp area," Konashenkov stressed.
"Since [Thursday] many international media outlets, citing the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, have been reporting an airstrike that hit the refugee camp in Northern Idlib province, near the town of Sarmada.
“I want to draw attention to the fact that the initial report oddly coincided with Thursday's concert of the Russian Mariinsky theatre musicians in Palmyra, conducted by Valery Gergiev.

Meanwhile, the Syrian government has released an official communique rebuffing claims that the Syrian Army conducted airstrikes at the refugee camp near Sarmada, Sana news agency reported.

Landis ställer sig tveksam till att det varit ett flyganfall:

Hard to believe that Russian planes are bombing only a few kilometers from Turkish border and anti-aircraft missiles
Om det inte var en attack från al-Nusra, kan det rört sig om explosiva ämnen som detonerade i lägret enligt nsnbc. Turkarna smugglar också in vapen och explosiva ämnen i området, genom att använda fordon skyltade som att de levererar hjälpsändningar:

A possibility that is largely omitted from the media discourse, as well as from Stephen O’Brien’s statement is that there was no air strike at all. Thursday night locals reported to nsnbc that there had been a lot of arms and explosive traffic in the region prior to the incident and that many of these arms and explosives transports were conducted under humanitarian cover.
UNHCR vehicles, ambulances, vehicles disguised as UNHCR vehicles, and vehicles belonging to Turkish “charities” and intelligence have previously been implicated in arms trafficking. One local witness stressed that there was an absence of an impact crater that would be consistent with military grade explosives, suggesting the explosion of a nitrate based, home-made low-explosive.

Ser alltså ut som att det kan röra sig ännu en fejkad nyhet om Assadregimens påstådda övergrepp.
Vilket förmodligen inte kommer att omnämnas i svensk media.
