Local media reported that one civilian died in an alleged regime airstrike on Jarjanaz on August 28, 2019.

Tweets from @MasarPressNet and @jisrtv both identified one civilian as being killed in the airstrikes.

According to a tweet from @baladinetwork, “the regime’s helicopters and warplanes bomb with six vacuum missiles and two explosive barrels, the town of Jarjanaz.”

@NagiNajjar attributed the strikes to the regime forces stationed in Khan Sheikhoun, reporting that they used rocket launchers. Resala post identified vacuum missiles as being used in the strike.

All sources attributed the strikes to regime forces or did not specifically identify whether Russia or the regime was responsible.
