Two brothers and their mother died in an airstrike on Ma’aret Al Seen, according to local media.

Local Coordination Committees of Syria attributed the three deaths to Russia. However, a report by the Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed regime warplanes.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported “The children brothers Mohammad and Nasr al Din al Othman were killed along with their mother Khadija al Atrash as Syrian regime fixed- wing warplanes fired missiles on Ma’aret al Seen village in Idlib governorate southern suburbs, on May 10th.”
