None

Britain's Ambassador to the United Nations Karen Pierce on Friday named several Syrian generals and their units stationed around rebel-held Idlib province, warning in the Security Council that they would be punished for any major military offensive on civilians.

 

An estimated 3 million people live in the last major stronghold of active opposition to Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule. Syrian government and Russian warplanes began air strikes in Idlib this week in a possible prelude to a full-scale offensive.
