One civilian was reported killed in an airstrike on Kansafra, Idlib, on June 22nd.

According to Step News, “a number of civilians were killed and injured on Saturday as a result of renewed aerial bombardment of the southern countryside of Idlib,” including “the killing of a civilian in the town of Kansafra”-  listed among other locations and casualties.

Syrian Network for Human Rights named the civilian killed as Khaled Amin al Rustum, allegedly killed as the “Syrian regime fired missiles near Nasim al Khalil Primary School in Kansafra village.”

While a number of sources documented “others wounded”, Syria.liveuamap cited three wounded in the attack.
