Three civilians were reported killed in airstrikes on Al Fatira, Idlib, on June 15th.

Two sources claimed that three civilians had perished in the attack, with Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stating that two of these were women, and Smart News alleging the death of a child.

Meanwhile, other sources referred to two civilians slain, while Step News Agency reported “the killing of another person in the town of Al Fatira, with a family under the rubble south of Idlib.”

“Others” were reported “seriously wounded” in the bombardment, and Smart News stated that “Civil Defense teams worked to extract those trapped under the rubble and to take the injured to nearby field hospitals.”

While three sources attribute the attack to the Syrian regime, one source refers to both Russia and the Syrian regime in reporting of the incident. Another source does not positively attribute blame.
