Baladi New’s correspondent in the Aleppo countryside reported that homes of civilians in the village of Kafr Noran were struck with mortar shells and civil defense teams were transporting injured civilians to the nearest medical point.

The majority of sources attributed the attack to the regime, with a tweet from @SRoudinah2 specifically identifying regime forces stationed at surrounding checkpoints as the ones responsible for the bombardment. However, both @mzmgr941 and @thawrat111 blamed Iranian forces for the strike while Syrian Civil Defense attributed the shelling to both the regime and Russia.
