(Previous Incident Codes: R2712RS2907)

An unspecified number of civilians were wounded in airstrikes on Ma’ara Al-Nassan, according to local media.

@AsadSouria reported that “Syrian-Russian warplanes carry out raids on insurgent positions in Ma’arat al-Nu’asan and al-Tahal village”, however they are a pro-regime source, therefore Airwars assessors and researchers conclude it is not a reliable source.

Cluster bombs and phosphorus bombs were used in the raid, according to local media.

There were no reports of civilian causalities.
