Syria.liveuamap, claiming five child fatalities, reported that two women were killed in the bombardment, while Syria Civil Defense documented the death of three women in the “airstrike loaded with three high-explosive rockets.”

Numerous sources noted that “many were wounded” in the attack, with @so_ria98 citing “dozens wounded”, and Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reporting “civilians trapped under the rubble.”

Four sources attributed the attack to the Syrian regime, two sources named Russia as the belligerent responsible for the incident, while three named both of these in the reporting of the airstrike. Meanwhile, six sources did not positively attribute blame.

Airwars assessment

One to five civilians were reported killed by airstrikes on Ma’ar Shureen, Idlib, on June 10th.

Both Shahba Press and Idlib Plus stated that of those initially killed, two were children, and one was a woman, and Syrian Network for Human Rights reported the death of “at least three civilians (a child, an unborn baby and a woman).” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights allege the death of two women, and Smart News reported the death of only one woman.

Furthermore, Idlib Plus claimed that 47 civilians were injured in the attack, while Edlib Media Center initially citied this figure to be 30. The destruction of civilian homes was also noted in the reporting of this incident.

On August 4th, Syrian Network for Human Rights reported the death of another child, who had succumbed to his injuries sustained on June 10th. According to this source, the child killed – “Zakariya Yahia al Ghawi” – had disabilities.

While three sources named Russia as the belligerent responsible for the attack, two attributed the strike to the Syrian regime, and three to both of these. Meanwhile, six other sources did not positively attribute blame.

Although specifically naming Russia in discussion of June 10th airstrikes on Ma’ar Shureen, Shaam News wrote that “Russian warplanes and Assad’s Air Force continued air raids on the towns and villages of rural Idlib, from midnight until Monday morning, resulting in many civilian casualties.”

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

One to two civilians were reported killed in airstrikes on Kafar Batik, Idlib, June 10th.

While two sources cite the death of one woman, multiple sources document the death of both a woman and her young child.

Syrian Network for Human Rights stated that an “infant, Malak Mohammad Hammadi, was killed along with her mother, Asmaa Emad Hmaid Hammadi” in the attack. However, other sources mentioned the death of Nai’la Hammadi, and it is unclear if there is a mistake or whether three civilians were killed on that day.

Local Coordination Committee for Syria claimed that three civilians were wounded in the airstrike, while Syrian Network for Human Rights visually documented the injury of another infant.

While five sources attribute the attack to the Syrian regime, three sources refer to both Russian forces and the Syrian regime in reporting the incident. Meanwhile, one source does not positively attribute blame.

Listing a number of locations and casualties, including “two martyrs in Kafar Batik”, Shaam News reported that “the Russian and Assad military aircraft and helicopters carried out dozens of air raids accompanied by artillery and missile attacks” on Monday June 10th.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
