Syrian regime shelling and Russian air strikes kill at least 15 civilians, including eight children, in Idlib province
"Over the past 24 hours Russian aircraft have carried out dozens of raids targeting several regions in Idlib province, including the city of Idlib and the town of Saraqeb," SOHR head Rami Abdel Rahman said.
"These are the first Russian air strikes against the province" since an accord struck by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in September last year.In September 2018, Turkey and Russia agreed to turn Idlib into a demilitarised zone after a meeting between Erdogan and Putin, in Sochi, Russia.
Ankara and Moscow signed a memorandum of understanding calling for the stabilisation of the situation in Idlib's de-escalation zone, in which acts of aggression are prohibited. Idlib has been in the hands of rebels for years, even as Assad's regime has taken back other rebel enclaves. The province is now home to some three million people, many of them displaced from other areas held by rebels or the opposition.
