17 civilians killed by Russian warplanes in Idlib countryside
Russian jet fighters carried out Monday evening air raids on villages in Saraqeb in Idlib countryside, Orient Newscorrespondent reported.
The aerial attacks targeted residential areas in Abu al-Dhour and Tal al-Toughan villages using vacuum bombs. Twelve civilians were killed in Abu al-Dhour, including women and children, while five others were killed in Tal al-Toughan village.
Russian warplanes carried out more than thirty air strikes on the area where the Russian helicopter was downed, and on the surrounding areas including al-Baraghithy, al-Jdeideh, Tal al-Haleeb, and Ras al-Ein in Idlib eastern countryside, according to Syria Live Network.
These attacks come after opposition fighters shot down, earlier today, a Russian helicopter, leading to the death of its crew members who were on board.
