The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) says that Russian jets have continued to fly over the western countryside of Idlib, coinciding with new airstrikes on the area.

The number of airstrikes rose to at least 11 carried out by Russian fighter jets on the area of Al-Hamama in the northern countryside of Jisr al-Shughour.

According to SOHR, the strikes targeted the headquarters and camps of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and jihadist groups, killing four fighters so far and injuring others. The death toll is expected to rise as some of the injured are in serious condition, amid reports of further fatalities.
