Several civilians were killed and several others were injured in alleged Russian or Assad regime airstrikes against the town of Jisr al Shoughour in the Idlib countryside, according to sources on the ground.

However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that regime forces carried out the airstrikes and the Syrian News Network attributed the airstrikes to Russian planes.
