BEIRUT: Russian airstrikes on Syria’s last major rebel bastion, the northwestern province of Idlib, killed seven people and wounded 15 on Thursday, a Britain-based war monitoring group said.
At least four of those killed in the strikes that hit a stone quarry and a nearby home west of Idlib city were civilians, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which was seeking to identify the other three casualties.
