Shelling by Syrian regime forces of a fuel depot in the opposition-held Idleb region killed three civilians Wednesday and started a huge fire, a war monitor said.
The bombardment struck a building in farmland near the town of Dana used as a supply station for diesel fuel, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
