Russia kills 200 civilians with air strikes on Syrian markets, hospitals and mosques

Shortly after 8.30 on a Sunday morning, Russian jets took off from an air base near Syria’s Mediterranean coast. Less than 30 minutes later, they fired three missiles into a crowded market, killing 49 people.
A new report by Amnesty International lays bare the scale of the suffering caused by Russia’s campaign on behalf of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. The human rights group documented the deaths of 200 civilians in 25 Russian air strikes in the space of two months.
