BEIRUT, June 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A barrage of Russian air strikes on
rebel-held areas of southern Syria killed 22 civilians on Thursday, a
monitoring group said, most of them in a single battered town.
“At least 35 Russian air strikes hit the town of Al-Mseifra,” the Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said.
“One of them hit a basement where people were taking shelter, killing 17
civilians, including five children,” the Britain-based monitor said.
