Regime strikes kill 4 civilians in Syria

Syrian government air strikes on the rebel-held northwest Idlib region killed four civilians, two of them children, yesterday, a war monitor said, as a two-month flare-up showed no let-up. Since late April, more than 460 civilians have been killed in government or Russian bombardment, according to the Observatory. The violence has forced around 330,000 people to flee their homes and hit 23 health centres, says UN.
