Russian, Assad regime airstrikes kill 22 in North West Syria

A total of 22 people were killed by Syrian regime and Russian airstrikes on residential areas in northwestern Syria’s Aleppo province late Thursday, a civil defense source reported.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fears of being targeted, said the airstrikes hit six neighbourhoods in Aleppo city, including Tariq al-Bab and al-Saliheen.

There were several women and children among the dead, the source added.

On Wednesday, the Syrian regime’s armed forces had declared a 72-hour ceasefire to be applied across all Syrian territory.
