Geolocation notes
Reports of the incident mention a vehicle struck on the road in the vicinity of Abla (عبلة). While most sources mention the Akhtarin-Abla (or Akhtarin-Aleppo) road, some instead mention the Hazwan-Abla road, or simply that the strike occurred near Abla. The generic coordinates for Abla are: 36.433361, 37.354615. Due to limited satellite imagery and information available to Airwars, we were unable to verify the location further.
