The Russian air force allegedly bombed the village of Hazarin in the Idlib countryside on April 1, 2018, possibly killing and injuring civilians.

According to Shaam, “Russian aircraft launched heavy air strikes caused the fall of martyrs and wounded in the cities and towns of Ariha and Khan Sheikoun and Urma Al Jouz and Al Qanba and Kafr Lata and Hazarin and Hamdiyah and Ma’aret Horma in the southern countryside and the city of Jisr al-Shughour in the western countryside”.

Step reported: “Air raids by Russian warplanes targeted the headquarters of the Central Division in the outskirts of the town of Hazarin in the countryside Idlib  without recording human casualties.” Fresh Syria provided a similar report, stating that there were “no reports of casualties”.

The raid focused on the southwestern outskirts of the village, according to local sources. One account of the attacks reported the involvement of Syrian forces in airstrikes in the Idlib countryside but didn’t specify Syrian regime involvement in the strikes on Hazarin.
