Airstrike kills at least 20 in Syria
ALEPPO -- Syrian first responders say at least 20 people have been killed in a presumed Russian or government airstrike on a rural market in the rebel-held Idlib province.
Ahmad al-Sheikho of the Syrian Civil Defense, volunteers who work in insurgent-held areas, says 37 others from the village of Maarat al-Nouman were taken to hospitals after Sunday's raid, some in grave condition.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 18 people were killed, including several children.
Russia's military announced last month it was resuming airstrikes on the northwestern Idlib province and central Homs province in support of the government.
An earlier airstrike on the nearby rebel-held village of Kafranbel killed at least 21 people.
