Most of the sources mentioned that several civilians were injured, but there was no information on the identities of other victims.

Facebook users Saroti Halabi and “Editor moment by moment” reported both the Iranian and the Russian military as responsible. All the other sources, when they identified the belligerent, referred to the Syrian regime forces as responsible for the attack.
Moreover, “Editor moment by moment” identified the nature of the attack also as a drone strike, notably “5 suicide planes of #Iranian militias target the #Al-Qasr and #Mediation axis, east of the city of #Atareb, west of #Aleppo, and there are no reports of casualties so far.”
