Airstrikes kill five in southern Syria — monitor
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA wave of airstrikes on rebel towns in southern Syria have killed at least five civilians and put a hospital temporarily out of service, a monitor says.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights blames the bombing raids on regime ally Russia.
“Five civilians including two women were killed on Sunday in Russian strikes on the towns of Al-Herak, Al-Sura, and Alma,” says Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britain-based monitor.
The raids on Al-Herak hit near a hospital, damaging it and forcing its medical staff to shut it down at least temporarily, he said.
