AIR strikes believed to have been carried out by Russian warplanes killed scores of people in the centre of the rebel-held city of Idlib in northwest Syria on Sunday, rescue workers and residents said. They said at least six strikes hit a busy market in the city, several government buildings and residential areas. Rescue workers said they had confirmed 43 dead but that at least 30 more bodies had been retrieved that had still to be identified.
Over 150 people were wounded with some of the serious cases sent to hospitals in Turkey. "There are a lot of corpses under the rubble," Yasser Hammo, a civil defence worker, said via an internet messaging system. Footage on social media and the pro-opposition Orient TV station showed makeshift ambulances rushing with injured civilians.
