At Least 21 Killed in Idlib Amid Syrian, Russian Airstrikes
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, at least 21 people have been killed in Idlib, the last
rebel-held province, after Syrian forces backed by Russian jets
assaulted towns across the region. In Idlib city alone, 15 people were
killed when Syrian and Russian jets struck two main markets, littering
the streets with bodies and debris. The violence came just days after a
ceasefire agreement brokered by Russia and Turkey was supposed to take
effect.
