(Zaman Al Wasl)- Russian air strikes killed at least 51 people in the rebel-held town of Maarat al-Nouman in the northern province of Idlib on Saturday when it struck a court house and an adjacent prison, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and activists reported.
The air strikes have also wounded at least 100, many of whom were in critical condition, medics said.
Russia has been staging air strikes in Syria in support of Bashar al-Assad since September.
The building was struck with four missiles and the number of dead could increase due to the large number of wounded, the Observatory said.
