Russian raids on a Syrian hospital and mosque have killed 60 civilians Airstrikes on Al-Nusra-held Idlib, north Turkey are said to be ‘the most intensive’ in months. Russian forces led an attack on a hospital and a mosque in the Syrian city of Idlib, a provincial capital held by al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front. This left 60 dead and about 200 injured. “The airstrikes are the most intensive on Idlib since the beginning of the truce,” Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP. At least five children were among those killed in the strikes, which hit several residential areas and near a hospital and a public garden. Moscow has been holding an air campaign in support of its Damascus ally since September last year. Over 280,000 people have been killed in Syria since the civil war began in 2011.
