Syrian regime retakes Kafranbel in Idlib province — monitor

Syrian regime forces have recaptured Kafranbel in the Idlib province, a war monitor says, a symbolic victory in a town that was among the first to rebel against Damascus.

Supported by Russian air strikes, pro-regime forces advancing on the last major rebel-held bastion in northwest Syria have captured Kafranbel and 18 nearby towns and villages over the past 48 hours, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
