At least two civilians were injured in airstrikes against the village of al Boueb in the Shahshabo mountain in the western Hama countryside, stretching from the Al-Suqaylabiyah District to the Maarat al-Numan District in the Idlib governorate. Media blamed Russian warplanes for the raids.

The “warplanes” which launched three raids on the vicinity were unidentified by some media. It was reported that the village “[is] inhabited by purely civilians working as shepherds. There are no more than 25 families in this village living in 15 houses.”

No specific estimate was given as to how many civilians.

There are no other details at this time.
