A number of civilians were reported injured in alleged Russian airstrikes on Al Naqir in Idlib, Syria on March 26th, 2018 according to local sources.
According to @IdlibPlus: “Russian warplanes, using vacuum missiles, targeted the outskirts of Al-Naqir village in southern Idlib countryside.”
However, only one of the two sources – the Shaam News Network (SNN) – reported civilian harm. SNN said: “Russian aircraft launched fierce air raids on the cities and towns of Ariha and Al Taman’a and Harsh Abidin and Al Naqir and Harsh Al Habit in the southern countryside, and Jisir Al Shugur , Al Safyat and Zarzour in the western countryside. This led to the fall of a number of wounded civilians”. The source didn’t provide figures for Al Naqir.
