13 dead as Russia strike hits Syria field hospital — monitor
At least 13 people including hospital staff were killed when Russian warplanes struck a field hospital in northwestern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says this evening.
“Thirteen people were killed in Russian air strikes on Tuesday on a field clinic in the town of Sarmin, including a physiotherapist, a guard and civil defense member,” the Observatory’s Rami Abdel Rahman tells AFP.
Sarmin lies in the northwestern province of Idlib, which has been regularly targeted by Russia’s military since the beginning of its air war in Syria on September 30.
