BBC: Syria war: Nine killed as Russia air strike hits Idlib market
The UN has expressed deep concern about an escalation of hostilities in north-western Syria after at least 11 people were reportedly killed in Russian air strikes on rebel-held Idlib province.
Nine were killed when warplanes dropped bombs next to a market outside Jisr al-Shughour on Sunday, rescuers said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported that it was the deadliest Russian attack this year. Another two people were killed in an air strike near Idlib city, it said.
