Russian Stepping Up Airstrikes In Syria

 

BBC: Syria war: Nine killed as Russia air strike hits Idlib market 

The UN has expressed deep concern about an escalation of hostilities in north-western Syria after at least 11 people were reportedly killed in Russian air strikes on rebel-held Idlib province. 

Nine were killed when warplanes dropped bombs next to a market outside Jisr al-Shughour on Sunday, rescuers said. 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported that it was the deadliest Russian attack this year. Another two people were killed in an air strike near Idlib city, it said. 

There was no immediate comment from the Russian military, whose air campaign in support of the Syrian government has been crucial in turning the tide of the 12-year civil war in its favour.
