A man and two women were killed in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on Sufwhen, Idlib governorate, on May 28th, 2019, according to local sources. Up to five civilians, including a Syrian Civil Defence volunteer, were reportedly injured.

Shahba Press claimed that one woman had been killed and an unknown number of others were injured in the strike, while Edlib Media Center and Syrian Network for Human Rights reported the death of two women and one man.

The Facebook page of Sufwhen Town Media Center identified the victims as Qasim Muhammad Al Jisri and presumably his daughter Asia Qasim Al Jisri, and a woman named Radia Hassan Al Awad.

Horrya News wrote that in addition to three deaths, five civilians, including a Syrian Civil Defence volunteer, had been injured. @mo3atasem91 tweeted that a child and a woman had been injured.

Several sources reported helicopter strikes with barrel bombs.

Both @so_ria98 and Smart News agency attributed the strike to Russia, while others named the Syrian regime as the responsible belligerent.
