Up to three civilians, including a child, died in alleged Russian or Syrian regime shelling on Kafr Nabl on April 27th, 2019, local media said.

According to the White Helmets, “a cluster targeting the town of Kafr Nabl killed a child martyr and caused injury to a woman.” The Step News Agency put the death toll at three – and blamed Russia.

However, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, the child Hussein al Ghannoum was killed in “regime shelling”.

Edlib Media Center reported that a cluster bomb “attack on the perimeter of the town of Kafr Nabl” killed a child, but the source didn’t identify the culprit.

Fresh Syria, however, blamed the regime, reporting that “the forces of the Assad regime stationed in the village of Abu Dali carried out cluster bomb attacks on outskirts of the city of Kafr Nabl, resulting in the death of a child and the injury of a child and a woman, who were transferred to the city hospital for treatment.”

There were also reports blaming rockets fired by the regime for the child’s death.
