Up to two civilians, including a woman and a child, were injured in alleged Russian or regime or Iranian strikes on Kafr Taal village on August 14, 2021.
According to the Syrian Civil Defense, “a two-year-old child was injured by missile strikes by the regime and Russia forces, this morning, Saturday, August 14, targeting civilian homes in Kafr Taal village”. However, @abo_aljod84 identified the child as being five years old.
@Sy24ria reported that both a woman and her child were injured in the shelling and attributed the strikes to the regime. The majority of other sources also gave similar information that a woman and child were injured.
Sources were conflicted as to who was responsible, with some blaming the regime for the strikes while @abo_aljod84 pointed to Russia, the regime, and Iran as responsible and @mzmgr941identified Russian and Iranian planes as flying reconnaissance in the area. Multiple sources identified both missiles and artillery shells as being used in the attack.
The incident occured in the morning.
