Civilian causalities as Russian-Assad warplanes bomb Idlib countryside

Assad-Russian warplanes targeted on Thursday (August 15) the demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Idlib countryside, killing a civilian and injuring eight others, Orient correspondent said.

Assad helicopters dropped on Thursday’s midnight barrel bombs on civilian homes in Saraqib city, injuring five civilians, including three children a woman.

Earlier on Thursday, the warplanes targeted civilian homes in several cities, towns and villages, including Kafr Sijnah, Maarat al-Numan and Hish, killing a civilian and injuring three others, including a white Helmets volunteer.

Assad-Russian warplanes have committed dozens of massacres in Idlib and Hama countryside since they launched their bombing campaign on the 30th of April, largely violating the de-escalation zone deal reached between Russia and Turkey last September.
