At least two civilians, including a woman, were injured in alleged Russian or regime strikes on Al Ziyadiya on August 7, 2021.

@OrientNews and other sources identified civilians as being injured but did not provide a number of how many.

Syrian Civil Defense posted that the strikes on Al Ziyadiya “resulted in the injury of a woman and a man”.

A tweet from @anasanas84 reported that “incendiary napalm” was used in the strikes and Syrian Network for Human Rights added that the strikes included “missile launcher with internationally prohibited weapons “Napalm”.

@IdlibPlus pointed out that the shelling occurred in the vicinity of a Turkish checkpoint.

The majority of sources attributed the strikes to the regime forces and @syr_television specifically identified regime sources “stationed in Jorin camp” as being responsible for the strikes. Syrian Civil Defense identified both the regime and Russia as carrying out bombings in the Idlib countryside but didn’t attribute this strike explicitly to either.
