Following on from the deadly chloride attack on Saraqeb on August 2nd, Tal al Sultan village was also reportedly hit on the same day by alleged Russian and Assad regime warplanes. According to Syria Direct, these raids were part of the same wave of attacks which blanketed Idlib as part of a revenge attack.

Al Jazeera reported that the attacks were Russian and were part of a series of raids which overall killed 15 civilians. According to the Shaam News Network, a woman and a child were killed by the shelling. However, it is possible these could be the same civilian casualties from the attack on Saraqeb (see previous incident). Syrian News also reported that there were some wounded. Numbers given were not specific to this event. Edlib Emc, however, specified that 10 people were injured in the raids.

A local resident tweeted “Russian aviation…more than five raids on the village of Tal al-Sultan. O Allah, peace, O Lord.”
