According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, Syrian regime fixed-wing warplanes fired missiles on Anas Bin Malek Mosque, partially destroying the building. The source claimed that five civilians were killed, including two children and a woman.

@HadiAlabdallah wrote: “At least 5 martyrs, including a woman and two children, and about 10 wounded, as a result of the Assad warplanes bombing the town of Kafr A’waid in Idlib countryside with airstrikes.” Jorf News reported the same casualty numbers. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights later put the death toll at six civilians.

Local sources stated that of those killed, two were children, and one was a woman, and a later source reports the death of a man, in addition to his two children. Meanwhile, Smart News Agency also reported that eight civilians were injured, and Local Coordination Committee for Syria claimed that “a number of civilians were wounded” in the airstrikes.

Syrian Observatory for Human rights stated that “Syrian regime warplanes targeted a motorcycle that a man, his wife and their two children were traveling on, in the area of Saad Mosque in Maarrat Al-Nu’man city. This resulted in the death of the wife, along with her son and daughter, and the injury of the man.”

Syrian Network for Human Rights later reported that Hussein Basem Sourani, the father of the slain children, succumbed to his injuries in the coming days. A further source, Step News, claimed that “a civilian died in Ma’arat al-Nu’man, as a result of a previous attack on the city.”

Three sources attributed the attack to both Russia and the Syrian Regime, while four named the Syrian Regime as the belligerent responsible for the attack. Meanwhile, four other sources did not positively attribute blame.

Smart News Agency stated that “with the support of Russia since late April 2019, the Syrian regime has launched a fierce military campaign against northern Hama, Idlib and Aleppo, killing hundreds of civilians, displacing tens of thousands of people and destroying hundreds of hectares of agricultural land.”
