Syria and Russia resume Idlib air strikes: residents, rescuers

 

Russian and Syrian jets resumed intensive strikes in Idlib and Hama on Sunday, residents and rescuers said, as Damascus stepped up its assault on the rebels' last major stronghold after a Russian-Iranian-Turkish summit failed to agree a ceasefire.

 

They said Syrian army helicopters dropped barrel bombs - typically filled with high explosives and shrapnel - on al-Habeet and Abdin villages in southern Idlib and a string of other hamlets and villages in the area.

 

Resident Abullah Qasemsaid that at least fifteen helicopters dropped bombs on al-Habeet with at least two children killed and nine injured in strikes that destroyed dozens of buildings.
