BEIRUT: Syrian activists say dozens of airstrikes by government forces and Russia on the last rebel-held enclave in northwestern Syria have killed several civilians. The escalation threatens a seven-month truce.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday a dozen overnight air raids on the southern edge of Idlib province killed six civilians.
The Observatory says government warplanes dropped a dozen of indiscriminate barrel bombs on one village. Syrian state media say the airstrikes targeted “terrorist groups.”
