Regime air raids kill 9 civilians despite Idlib truce: monitor

BEIRUT, Jan 15, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Regime air strikes on Syria’s last major
opposition bastion killed nine civilians on Wednesday, hitting a vegetable
market despite a fresh Russian-backed truce, a war monitor said.

At least 20 other civilians were wounded in the raids that struck a
bustling area of Idlib city, capital of the rebel-held province of the same
name, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
