A monitoring rights group says a Russi꧑an warplane struck a house on Friday in no🉐rthwestern Syria near the Turkish border, killing seven civilians, including four children.
Syrian Civil Defence volunteers rushed to the house to remove the bodi🐎es under the rubble.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and opposition media outlet Orient TV say the airstrike in Idlib's town of Ji🔜sr al-Shoghour was carried out by a Russian warplane following four other Russian airstrikes𓆉 in a town further north.
The sources of the airstrikes on Idli♑b c𒐪ould not be independently verified.
The northw🧜estern region of Syria is home to the coun🔴try's last rebel enclave.
The province of Idlib is under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an al-Qaida-linked group, while northern Aleppo province is under the control of Turkish-bac❀ked rebel groups.
More than 90 per cent of the population in that area live 🐻in extreme poverty, relying on humanitarian aid to survive.
The Syrian government in Damascus, alongside key ally Russia, frequently 🐎launch airstrikes in the area.
Turkey has warned it intends to launch a new military operation targeting the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in northwestern Syria. Turkey says the Kurdish-led forces pose a security threat and deem them a terrorist group.
