Warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) carried out at least 35 airstrikes on the opposition-held areas in northwestern Syria in the last 24 hours, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on June 14.
According to the UK-based monitoring group, the airstrikes covered the towns of al-Lataminah and Kafr Zita in northern Hama, as well as the towns of Khan Shaykhun, Arihah, al-Mastumah, Hobait, Jabal al-Arba’in, Ehsim, Tell Mardikh and Sutuh al-Dir in the southern and eastern countryside of Idlib.
Opposition news outlets and activists released several videos showing the Russian and Syrian airstrikes.
This wave of airstrikes was reportedly a response to the militants’ repeated violations of the new ceasefire agreement, that was announced two days ago.
If militants continue their attacks on government-held areas, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) will likely resume its ground operations in Greater Idlib.
