Скачать или смотреть Panic in Idlib after air raid hits school

(25 Feb 2020) An airstrike on a rebel-held northwestern Syrian city struck a school Tuesday, killing at six people, Syrian opposition activists said, as government forces moved forward in their offensive toward a town considered a symbol of the uprising against President Bashar Assad.
In the provincial capital of Idlib that carries the same name, the school was struck with a cluster bomb-filled rocket, killing two girls and a teacher, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The violence came as Turkey's president announced that a Russian delegation would arrive the following day to resume talks aimed at easing tensions in the northwest Idlib region.
The area is the country's last rebel-controlled stronghold and the Syrian government's military campaign there, backed by Russia, has created a humanitarian catastrophe with nearly one million people displaced from their homes since Dec. 1.
