Six civilians killed in northwest Syria

Regime and Russian fire has killed at least six civilians in northwestern Syria’s Idlib province, a war monitor said yesterday, two weeks after Moscow declared a ceasefire in the jihadist-dominated region. On Friday, regime rocket fire on the towns of Maaret Al-Numan and Kafranbel in southern Idlib province killed five civilians including a child, a report said. A sixth civilian was killed in a Russian air strike in the rural west of the province, it added.
