Number of shells landed on the outskirt of a Turkish post near the village of Kafir, west of Idlib. The sources added.
The sources pointed out that the government forces stationed at Damascus-Aleppo highway north of Maarat al-Numan, targeted with 9M133 Kornet ,a modern Russian man-portable anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), two cars from Deir Sunbul, south of Idlib, wounding a child.
