Five civilians were killed in a regime airstrike in the northwestern Idlib province on Tuesday, according to a local civil defense official.
Twenty-four other people were injured in the raid that targeted residential areas in the opposition-held province, Mustafa Haj Yousuff, head of the White Helmets civil defense agency in Idlib, told Anadolu Agency.
Idlib was designated as "de-escalation zone" in May 2017 in which acts of aggression are expressly forbidden.
Nevertheless, the Bashar al-Assad regime and Russian forces have continued to carry out attacks on the region.
