At least two civilians, a man and a child, were injured in alleged Russian or regime artillery strikes on the town of Marayan on July 11, 2021.

Syrian Civil Defense reported that “a man and his son were injured by similar shelling on the village of Mara’an”. Macro Media Center verified that the son that was injured was a child.

Baladi News identified the homes of the injured civilians in the village as being struck by artillery. Zaman Al Wasl added that “the bombing also caused widespread destruction of civilian property”.

Enab Baladi News provided information that the injuries of the civilians were varying and NPA Syria reported that the injured “were taken to medical points for treatment”.

The majority of sources attributed the strikes to the regime and Zaman Al Wasl pinpointed the “regime forces stationed in the town of Basqala” as being to blame. However, @EdlibNN identified Russia and Syrian Observatory did not identify who was responsible for the strikes but reported that  “Russian reconnaissance drones were seen flying over the southern countryside of Idlib.”
