Assad regime and Russian warplanes targeted Syria's northwestern Idlib on Wednesday, killing at least 6 civilians and injuring 10 others, the White Helmets reported.
The warplanes struck the city of Saraqib and several villages of Idlib, according to an opposition aircraft observatory.
It's noteworthy that attacks by the Assad regime and Russia displaced some 40,000 civilians within the Idlib de-escalation zone in the first half of November, according to Syria's Response Coordination Group, a local NGO.
Despite eight months of calm provided by the Sochi deal between Turkey and Russia last year in September, the regime, backed by Moscow, intensified its attacks in April under the pretext of fighting Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorists holed up in Idlib.
The de-escalation zone is currently home to some 4 million civilians, including hundreds of thousands displaced in recent years by regime forces from throughout the country.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) released a report Sunday showing that a total of 277 civilians were killed in Syria during the month of November alone.
The report revealed that 72 of the killed civilians were children while 32 of them were women. It also showed that the majority of the civilians were killed by the regime or Russian forces.
