Russian warplanes carried out air raids on the town of Zafarana, killing 11 people and injuring dozens, with the town also witnessing a displacement movement, opposition sources said.

The raids included the bombing of Makramiyah, killing one and injuring several others, while six others were also killed in Rastan. The western parts of Farhaniyah were also targeted with several strikes, leading to the injury of several civilians.
