2018-01-30
[AA.TR] At least 12 non-combatants were killed and 16 others injured in two Arclight airstrikes in Idlib province in northern Syria on Monday, according to an official with the White Helmets civil-defense agency.

A Russian warplane struck a marketplace in Saraqib city in the province, White Helmets director in Idlib Mustafa Haj told Anadolu Agency.

"Eleven people were killed and 13 others injured in the attack," he said.

Another airstrike targeted a hospital in the same city, killing a civilian and injuring three others.

Haj said two journalists were among those injured in the attack.

He said rescuers have moved the injured to hospitals in the area.

Located in northern Syria near Ottoman Turkish borders, Idlib province was declared as a "de-escalation zone" on May 4-5, 2017.

Controlled by anti-regime gangs, the province has been under intense airstrikes for the last 1.5 months.
