Five civilians, including three children, killed in airstrike on Idlib

According to information received from an opposition aircraft observatory, a Russian warplane that took off from the Hmeimim Air Base in Latakia at 21:15 local time carried out airstrikes on the town of Armanaz in Idlib.

5 CIVILIANS KILLED

According to information from the Civil Defense (White Helmets), 5 people from the same family, including 3 children, lost their lives in the attack, and 1 child was injured.

The injured child was taken to a nearby hospital.

CURRENT SITUATION IN IDLIB

Turkey, Russia, and Iran decided to create 4 "de-escalation zones" in areas not under the control of the Syrian regime during the 2017 Astana meetings.

The Damascus administration, Iranian-backed terrorists, and Russia continued their attacks, capturing 3 of the 4 zones and turning their focus toward Idlib.

Although Turkey reached an additional agreement with Russia in September 2018 to strengthen the ceasefire, attacks intensified again in May 2019. The ceasefire has been largely maintained following a new agreement reached between Turkey and Russia on March 5, 2020.

Approximately 2 million civilians fleeing the attacks between 2017 and 2020 were forced to migrate to areas near the Turkish border.
