Residents inspect the rubble of damaged buildings, looking for victims, after a deadly air strike, said to be in Maaret Al Numan, Idlib province, Syria, August 28, 2019.
The truce, which brought a halt to four months of devastating bombardment on Idlib province by the regime and its ally Russia, had largely held apart from sporadic artillery fire and air strikes. On Friday, regime rocket fire on the towns of Maaret Al Numan and Kafranbel in southern Idlib province killed five civilians including a child, the Observatory said.That brought to 11 the number killed since the ceasefire came into effect, according to the Britain-based monitor, which has a network of contacts across the war-torn country.
The Observatory on Saturday reported regime fire in various parts of southern Idlib, including close to a Turkish military observation post.
