At least one man was injured in alleged Russian airstrikes on the village of Sarja on June 12, 2021.

According to Syrian Civil Defense, “the village of Sarja was subjected to similar raids, which resulted in the injury of a man.” @syr_television referred to “civilians” being injured but did not provide a specific number. None of the other sources mention civilian casualties.

All of the sources that reported on the incident attributed the strikes to Russia. A tweet from @anasanas84 also identified vacuum missiles as being used in the strikes and @khaleedalkhteb specified that three raids were carried out on Sarja.
