ALEPPO, Syria
A total of 37 people have been killed in separate airstrikes in northwestern Syria’s Aleppo and Idlib provinces since Thursday, according to a civil defense source.
Twenty two people were killed by Syrian regime and Russian airstrikes on residential areas in northwestern Syria’s Aleppo province late Thursday, a civil defense source told Anadolu Agency Friday.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fears of being targeted, said the airstrikes hit six neighborhoods in Aleppo city, including Tariq al-Bab and al-Saliheen.
There were several women and children among the dead, the source added.
Separately, 15 civilians were killed and another 20 injured Friday by a Syrian regime airstrike in Idlib province, a civil defense source told Anadolu Agency.
Idlib province’s opposition-controlled Darkush town was targeted by a regime warplane, the source said anonymously due to security concerns.
On Wednesday, the Syrian regime’s armed forces had declared a 72-hour ceasefire to be applied across all Syrian territory.
