A woman was killed and an unknown number of others were injured in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on the village of Falifal, Idlib governorate, on June 1st, 2019, according to local sources.

@MasarPressNet tweeted that “a woman was martyred and several civilians were wounded due to airstrikes on the village of Falifal in Jabal Shahshabo in the southern countryside.” Other sources, such as Orient News, reported the same numbers.

The Syrian Civil Defence in Idlib wrote that “the civil defence immediately went to the place and to check it. The result was the death of a woman and the enormous destruction of homes and properties.”

While Smart News Agency and @syrianmosaic attributed the attack to the Syrian regime, Shaam News Network named both Russia and the Syrian regime as responsible for the attack. Other sources did not specify the belligerent of the strikes.
