Russian planes attacked the city of Idlib in northwestern Syria on January 2, reports Reuters…
It is noted that, according to the tracking centers, these were Su planes flying at high altitude. They attacked several cities and the main water pumping station of Idlib. According to Mark Cutts, UN Deputy Regional Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs, it was severely damaged, worsening the humanitarian situation of the residents of the city held by the Syrian opposition.
According to eyewitnesses cited by Reuters, the airstrikes also affected livestock and poultry farms near the Bab al-Hawa border post with Turkey.
Cutts called for an end to attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians as this would “only lead to more suffering.”
It is noted that no comments were received from Russia or the Syrian army about the attacks.
