Russian air strike kills 11 people in Idlib province
2017-04-08
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] At least 11 people killed Friday in a Russian Arclight airstrike on Idlib province hours after U.S. air strikes on regime air base in central Syria left 6 soldiers killed, activists said.

The provocative strike by Russia on Heesh town and neighboring villages in the southern countryside defied an international consensus says targeting civilians must be stopped.

The Syrian Observatory fro Human Rights said Arclight airstrikes may also have struck Khan Sheikhun town on Friday, where a chemical attack killed scores of people this week.

The US fired dozens of cruise missiles on Friday at an airfield from which it said the Khan Sheikhun chemical attack that killed at least 86 people was launched on Tuesday.

Washington blamed the gas attack on Syrian government forces. The Syrian regime strongly denies responsibility and says it does not use chemical weapons.
