One to two civilians were reported killed in airstrikes on Kafar Batik, Idlib, June 10th.

While two sources cite the death of one woman, multiple sources document the death of both a woman and her young child.

Syrian Network for Human Rights stated that an “infant, Malak Mohammad Hammadi, was killed along with her mother, Asmaa Emad Hmaid Hammadi” in the attack. However, other sources mentioned the death of Nai’la Hammadi, and it is unclear if there is a mistake or whether three civilians were killed on that day.

Local Coordination Committee for Syria claimed that three civilians were wounded in the airstrike, while Syrian Network for Human Rights visually documented the injury of another infant.

While five sources attribute the attack to the Syrian regime, three sources refer to both Russian forces and the Syrian regime in reporting the incident. Meanwhile, one source does not positively attribute blame.

Listing a number of locations and casualties, including “two martyrs in Kafar Batik”, Shaam News reported that “the Russian and Assad military aircraft and helicopters carried out dozens of air raids accompanied by artillery and missile attacks” on Monday June 10th.
