Russian-led air strikes kill at least 23 civilians in northwestern Syria including 13 children, a war monitor says
A Syrian man mourns the death of family members next to the rubble of his house following a reported air strike on the village of Kafr Nuran, in the western countryside of the northern province of Aleppo, on January 21, 2020.
Six children were among those killed in the raid in Kfar Taal village, where three girls died in strikes a day earlier, according to the Britain-based monitor. Although the Russian Defence Ministry announced that a ceasefire went into effect as of January 9, the regime and Iranian-backed groups maintained ground attacks on the opposition-held city.
Idlib hosts at least three million people, many of whom have fled other parts of the country and are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.Located in northwestern Syria next to Turkey's borderline, Idlib has been a fortress for opposition forces and anti-regime armed groups since the eruption of the bloody civil war in 2011.
