On 4 September 2023, at least two civilians were injured by a missile attack in the city of Qabasin. Sources attribute the incident to the Syrian regime forces and/or the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The shelling bombardment in this area resulted in many displacements of families in the city of Qabasin.

The Syrian Civil Defense (SCD) reported that this missile bombardment came from areas under control of the regime forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces, and resulted in the injury of a child and a man. Additionally, the SCD referred to the injuries sustained by the child as “serious” and they mobilized a team to treat the injured and evacuated a family from the city to the home of relatives in Al-Bab city.

A post from Qabasin on Facebook reported that in addition to the serious injury of the child, two women and two men sustained light injuries in the attack.

A series of tweets also reported the civilian casualties by the missile strike such as from @anasanas84 that includes photographic records of the incident while also referring to the SDF as responsible for the attacks.

Images posted by Omar Al-Nakdali reportedly show the munitions used in the attack, referred to as coming from a “rocket launcher”.
