Syria war: Nine killed as Russia air strike hits Idlib market
The UN has expressed deep concern about an escalation of hostilities in north-western Syria after at least 11 people were reportedly killed in Russian air strikes on rebel-held Idlib province.
Nine were killed when warplanes dropped bombs next to a market outside Jisr al-Shughour on Sunday, rescuers said.
...
Another two people were killed in an air strike near Idlib city, it said.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian military, whose air campaign in support of the Syrian government has been crucial in turning the tide of the 12-year civil war in its favour.

A reminder that Russia continues to support dodgy, deadly regimes, and fight in dubious ways hoping to gain influence and power, in various countries as well as trying to take Ukraine.
