A single source reported “victims” in an airstrike on Kfar Zeita, Hama, on June 15th.

Another source, Shaam News, also alleges the attack, but does not make reference to any civilian casualties.

Although victims are reported by Smart News in the “aerial bombardment”, no other information is known at this time with regard to how many civilians were harmed in the incident, or to what extent.

Airwars has set a possible injury range of 1 to 2 for this event – and is conducting ongoing research.

Shaam News names both Russia and the Syrian regime in the reporting of the event, while Smart News does not positively attribute blame for the airstrike.

No other information is known at this time.
