One civilian male was wounded in an alleged regime or Russian airstrike and/or artillery strike on Al Bara.

Ariha Today reported that “at 10:52, a regime warplane targeted the area around the town of Al-Bara. At 11:18, a helicopter raid targeted the Al-Bara town, targeting a bakery and a mosque in the town, wounding a civilian man.”

According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, “Syrian regime forces helicopters dropped a barrel bomb on al Bara Bakery in al Bara village in Jabal al Zaweya area in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, partially destroying its building and damaging its equipment, on January 28.”

While two of the three sources clearly blamed the regime, @allaith12345 noted the “insane bombardment from from Russian criminality and the gang of Bashar”. The source tweeted a video showing the aftermath of the strikes.
