More civilians killed by Russian and Assad attacks in Idlib

Russian warplanes and Assad militiamen shelled on Monday (May 6) the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of Hama and Idlib countryside, killing and injuring civilians, Orient correspondents said.

Russian warplanes shelled on the early hours of Monday civilian homes and a mosque in Shinan village in Idlib countryside, killing a child and a woman and injuring two children.

Yesterday, Russian warplanes and Assad helicopters targeted more than 30 villages and towns in Idlib and Hama countryside with hundreds of rockets and barrel bombs, killing 23 civilians, including women and children and injuring dozens and causing severe damage.

Idlib countryside and Hama countryside are within the de-escalation zone reached by Russia and Turkey last September. Russian warplanes and Assad militiamen have killed hundreds of Syrians since the de-escalation deal reached.
