An airstrike early Sunday over a busy vegetable market in northwestern Syria killed at least nine people, activists and local first responders said, APA reports citing Arab news.
Activists and Britain-based opposition war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that Russia, a top ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, launched the strike over the strategic opposition-held town of Jisr Al-Shughur near the Turkish border.
Opposition-held northwestern Syria’s civil defense organization known as the White Helmets said over 30 people were wounded, and expected the death toll to increase.
Neither Syria nor Russia commented on the airstrike, though Damascus says strikes in the northwest province target armed insurgent groups.
