Doa’a, a Facebook page that provides prayers for the dead, said that Russia attacked the forest of the city of Kafranbel and Alhadath.Magazine stated that Russia striked around the city of Kafranbel.
Regarding civilian harm, SNHR said that “[Muhammad Anwar al-Othman al-Hasaki] from Kafrnabel city in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, was killed as fixed- wing warplanes fired missiles on the road linking Kafranbel city and [Al Bara] village in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, on February 24.” Baladi Network reported that one civilian was killed in airstrikes on the town of Al Bara, without identifying the victim.
Edlib Network News stated that “[a] civilian was killed and five others were wounded in the bombing of the Russian warplanes on the town of Al-Bara in the Idlib countryside.” Similarly, @abo_aljod84, a local reporter and journalist, claimed that “[a] civilian was killed and 5 others were wounded as a result of a Russian air strike targeting the town of Al-Bara, south of Idlib.” Both sources didn’t provide any details about the civilians that were harmed by the attack.
Sources are contested as to who was responsible for the strike.
