Air strikes by the regime and its Russian ally killed 12 civilians including three children in northwest Syria Thursday, a monitor said.
The bombardment on the rebels-held bastion has killed hundreds, pounded health centres and schools, and caused more than 600,000 people to flee their homes.
Aid groups have decried a "nightmare" that has slain an alarming amount of children, in the latest bloody episode of Syria's eight-year civil war.
Since late April, the Syrian regime and Russia have stepped up deadly raids on the Idlib region of three million people.
Save the Children said the number of children killed in Idlib over the past four weeks had exceeded the number slain in the same region in the whole of last year.
"The current situation in Idlib is a nightmare," the charity's Sonia Khush said.
"It's clear that once again children have been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks," she added in a statement.
More than 730 civilians have been killed there in air strikes and ground-to-ground fire by the Damascus regime and its allies since late April.
