A/HRC/44/61 13. The Commission notes that the Russian Aerospace Forces do not operate such aircraft in Syria, and that only Syrian aircraft operate from Hama Air Base.

C. 5 March, poultry farm in Marat Misrin town, Idlib governorate 14. On 5 March, between 2 and 2:30 a.m., pro-government forces carried out two consecutive airstrikes that struck directly a poultry farm in Marat Misrin, where around 100 displaced individuals had settled after fleeing Hama and southern Idlib, including Ariha and Ma’arat al Numan between December and January (see section V. A.). The attack destroyed the farm in its entirety, and killed at least 16 civilians, including 8 women and 3 children, and injured 25 others, including 5 women and 7 children. 15. The farm was located an in a remote agricultural area approximately 2 kilometres west from Marat Misrin town. It was a large, distinctive building located amid farmlands of olive threes. Interviewees described that displaced families were accommodated in 4 warehouselike facilities, while the closest residential houses were located between 20 to 50 meters away. Interviewees further described the area as civilian in nature, without military objectives located nearby. 16. Airstrikes commenced at around 2 a.m., while most of the families were still sleeping. Interviewees recalled being awoken by a large explosion at 2:15 a.m., and running outside to escape further attacks, while others remained stuck under the rubble for hours. Shortly afterwards, at around 2:30 a.m., pro-government forces launched a second airstrike that struck an open area near the farm, killing 1 girl and 2 men who were trying to hide outside. As the farm was completely destroyed, almost all of the displaced families left the next day. 17. Most of the victims suffered severe injuries, with some brought to Marat Misrin hospital with severe shrapnel injuries or without limbs. Family members were forced to identify their lost loved ones based on birth marks, clothing or other similar features. 25
