SNC gang groups are reported to have attacked Aleppo’s Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood and town of Kefer Hemra this morning with Elephant missiles, and 3 civilians were killed during the attacks.

Military experts state that with their length of 3-6 meters and width of 50 cm, the missiles are named ‘Elephant’ because they make a noise that resembles elephant sounds. Inspired by Grad missiles, these hand-made missiles contain chemical materials and have ranges of 800 meters to 4 kilometers.

Elephant missiles were first made and used by Ahrar Al-Sham gangs, and have an impact as much as the barrel bombs used by regime warplanes.
