Toronto photojournalist Ali Moustafa, 29, and seven others were killed Sunday when a pair of explosive devices were dropped in a rebel-held part of Aleppo, Syria.
The photographer’s sister, Justina Rosa Botelho, confirmed her brother’s death after viewing a photo of his corpse that was sent to her by activists.
The Associated Press reported that a military helicopter dropped a so-called barrel bomb on the Hadariyeh area of Aleppo, on Sunday. After reporters and others moved in to survey the damage, a second bomb was dropped, leaving Moustafa mortally wounded.
