An alleged Syrian or Russian airstrike struck the village of Kafriya in the morning of July 13th, according to local sources.

The strike led to the death of three civilians (and a fetus) who seem to be from the same family. A man, his child and a pregnant woman who were displaced were reported killed in the strike. According to Shaam, a total of four civilians were killed including two women and “a fetus”. Several others, including women and children, were reported wounded.

The Syrian Civil Defense, after four hours of work in search of survivors, pulled a woman from the rubble of her house, alive.

One of the volunteers of the Syrian Civil Defense was injured while searching for missing persons when he fell on the back of the roof of one of the destroyed houses.
