Air strikes in northwestern Syria on Thursday, thought to have been carried out by Russia, killed 44 civilians including five children, according to a Britain-based monitor.
The raids, which hit a neighbourhood in the area of Zardana in the Idlib countryside, also wounded 50 people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
"War planes, which are likely Russian, targeted the village of Zardana in northern rural Idlib overnight and caused the highest death toll in a single attack on the region since late March," Rami Abdulrahman, the director of the Britain-based war monitor said.
