One civilian died and up to 10 more were wounded in airstrikes on Kfar Nbouda, according to local media. Sources were conflicted as to whether Russia or the regime was to blame. Many reports said that regime helicopters dropped multiple barrel bombs on the town. There were reports of both artillery and airstrikes.

Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCCSY) reported a “martyr and more than 10 wounded as a result of the initial targeting of the town of Kfar Nbouda in the countryside of the northern Hama with dozens of rockets and artillery shells.”

@aalrashed tweeted: “The town of Kafar Nabouda (fifty kilometres from Hama) has been displaced all its people today [April 30th] and yesterday. Syrian planes dropped dozens of explosive barrels on them.”

The Syrian Network for Human Rights named Fawaz abd al Razzaq al Yousuf as one of the victims.

According to Alyaum TV, “the Syrian regime targeted the city of Kfarabouda in the countryside of Hama with more than 300 shells”.

Xeber24 made no mention of civilian harm but said that “a private source from Hama village told the correspondent (Xeber 24) on Tuesday (April 30th) that three gunmen were killed and others wounded in regime air and artillery fire targeting their headquarters in the town of Kfarabouda north of Hama.”

Qasioun News wrote that “more than 100 artillery shells and eight raids by warplanes targeted the town”, blaming the regime. In an earlier post, Qasioun News reported Russian airstrikes.

Whereas most sources blamed the Syrian regime, other sources, such as Aawsat News, reported Russian airstrikes.
