Local sources reported that a woman and a child were injured in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on the city of Latamina in the northern Hama countryside on June 9th, 2019.

According to a @HalabTodayTV correspondent, “a woman and her child were wounded as a result of an airstrike by the regime’s air force on the city of Al Latamina in the northern Hama countryside.” @MasarPressNet also reported that a woman and her child had been injured.

Smart News Agency, however, reported that the victims were a woman and her granddaughter, adding that the victims were taken to a hospital for treatment.

@aeinnews wrote that “the Syrian regime’s warplanes launch intense raids on the city of Al Lataminah in the northern countryside of Hama, central Syria, this evening.”

@NagiNajjar tweeted: “58 airstrikes by the regime and the Russians with missiles, barrel bombs and cluster bombs on the areas of the northern Hama countryside”, including Latamina.

@syrian191124 reported that “Russian warplanes target the towns of Kafar Zeita and Al Latamina in the northern Hama countryside.”

While many sources pointed to the Syrian regime as the responsible belligerent, @syrian191124 blamed Russian airstrikes and @NagiNajjar, Smart News Agency and Shaam News Network reported both the Syrian regime and Russian forces as responsible.
