Russian air strikes kill, injure people in northwest Syria
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, two people were killed and seven others were wounded in Russian several air raids in northwest Syria.
Russian warplanes raided the Kabbana hills area, north of Latakia, and the vicinity of the town of Taltita in Jabal al-Summaq area northwest of Idlib, with high-explosive missiles, North Press reported opposition military sources.
“The bombardment resulted in the killing of two people and wounding of seven others in the town of Taltita. The wounded were taken to medical points for treatment,” the sources added.
The air strikes coincided with the government forces’ shelling of the gatherings of the opposition factions in the town of al-Bara, south of Idlib.
In turn, the armed opposition factions bombed the government forces’ points near the town of Jobas in the eastern countryside of Idlib, with heavy artillery, according to the sources.
However, North Press was unable to check the received information with other sources.
For months, areas in Syria’s northwest have been witnessing mutual shelling between parties to the conflict in different areas amid news on government military reinforcements to different areas in the region.
Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.
