Syrian government forces and Russia escalated their bombing of southern Idleb, forcing more families to flee to northern Syria.
Civil Defense director in the village of Shinan, Subhi al-Ibrahim, told Smart News that on Monday night, Russian warplanes launched several raids on the villages of al-Bara and al-Maouzrah in the Zawiya Mountain, causing damage. Ibrahim stated that dozens of families fled the area due to the bombing.
Ibrahim added that the missiles launched by Russian warplanes exploded before crashing to the ground, and their remnants spread over areas surrounding the site of the explosion.
