Airwars assessment
Three civilians, reportedly two men and a baby girl, died and another five non-combatants were wounded in an airstrike on agricultural land between the town of Kafar Nabil and the village of Jbala in the southern suburb of Idlib, local media reported. Most sources blamed Russia, though there was also an allegation that the Assad regime had used barrels bombs on the location.
According to Halab Today TV, “three people were killed, including a girl, and five others were injured by Russian airstrikes targeting a house south of Kafar Nabil in rural Idlib. The correspondent said that the Russian aircraft launched a series of air raids on the outskirts of the village”.
Syrian Mosaic said that “according to private sources, the raid targeted the headquarters of one of the factions [the party was not named], which led to the death of two elements of the faction and the death of a girl, who was accompanied by her father to the place.”
However, @yyasaryyavuz tweeted an image of a Syrian Civil Defence volunteer holding the body of a baby and attributed her death to barrel bombs dropped by the regime.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
