Airwars assessment
Two civilians, including a child, were reported killed in airstrikes on Kafar Nabil, Idlib, on August 17th.
Syrian Network for Human Rights stated that “Russian forces killed two civilians from the same family in Kafar Nabil city in Idlib: Othman Abdul Naser al Ta’ta’ and the child Abdul Naser Shahhoud al Ta’ta’ were killed as warplanes we believe were Russian fired missiles near a motorcycle carrying them in west of Kafar Nabil city in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, on August 17th.” Yasser Tata, a relative of those killed, identified the child Abdul as being the nephew of Othman, the man killed.
Graphic images posted by @AyhamStaif show the bodies of those killed next to the motorcycle they were reportedly riding.
