(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 10 civilians, mostly children, have been killed in suspected Russian air strikes on southern city of Daraa, activists said Saturday.
Syrian regime air force backed by Russian warplanes has extended its brutal aerial campaign on rebel-held province of Daraa.
Saturday's attacks targeted Tariq al-Sad neighborhood in the Old City of Daraa.
The past 72 hours have witnessed a high scale of aerial bombing on series of towns, including Nawa, al-Harra, Sheikh Miskeen, Alehrak, Jasem, Tel al Jumoua' and al Nouaima.
Also, an artillery shelling reported from Tha'ala military airport on rebel-captured Brigade 52 in eastern countryside of Daraa.
Last Thursday, at least 25 farmers were killed and dozens wounded in barrel bomb attacks on the main olive mill in Sheikh Miskeen town, activists said.
In eastern Syria, more than least 30 people have been killed across the eastern Deir Ezzor province as Syrian regime warplanes backed by Russian jets intensify aerial campaign on ISIS-held territory, local activists said Saturday.
The devastating air strikes rocked towns of al Mayadin, Al Bukamal, Al Mohassan and the neighborhoods and districts surround Deir Ezzor military air base, local activists said.
Russia's air force flew 394 sorties and hit 731 targets in Syria in the last three days, mostly in Deir Ezzor, Interfax news agency cited the head of the Russian air group in Syria as saying Friday.
He said the Russian military air fleet in Syria was reinforced by 8 Su-34 bombers and a unit of Sy-27SM3 jet fighters, according to the report.
Since it began in 2011, Syria's war has fractured into a complex array of fronts between Kurds, rebels, regime and jihadists, and has killed more than 250,000 people.
