(Zaman Al Wasl)- Five more civilians have been killed on Monday in the northern Idlib province in less than 24 hours since 37 people had been killed in Russian missile attacks on local market, activists said.
Regime's air strikes have rocked Idlib's city center, leaving huge destruction.
On Sunday, at least 37 civilians, including 5 children, were killed when Russian war planes pounded a local marketplace in Idlib, medics told Zaman al-Wasl.
6 more people, including 4 children, were killed in Russian vacuum missile attack on Masjed al-Masri neighborhood in Marrat al-Numan, about 30 km (20 miles) south of Idlib, local media center reported.
Russia deployed warplanes to Syria last year to support Bashar al-Assad against rebels seeking to end his rule, and have supported Syrian government forces in a separate fight against Islamic State further east.
Idlib city and the province by the same name is a stronghold of rebel groups including the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.
There has been heavy bombardment of areas in Idlib province in recent weeks, including air strikes that killed at least 23 people last month.
Fighting in Syria's five-year civil war has intensified since a February ceasefire deal which took hold in the west of the country but excluded al Qaeda and Islamic State, but quickly began to unravel. (With Reuters)
