Regime and Russian airstrikes killed nine civilians in the last major opposition bastion of Idlib in northwestern Syria, a Britain-based war monitor said on Sunday.
Seven of those killed were members of the same family in the town of Sarmeen, where an AFP correspondent saw a man weeping as rescue workers pulled two bodies from a crumpled two-storey building.
They belonged to his nine-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son.
A regime airstrike also killed a child in the town of Binnish, and a Russian raid took the life of a woman in the town of Atareb, the war monitor said.
The Observatory earlier cited sources reporting loud explosions in early hours of Sunday morning, in Al-Bab city in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
The sources confirmed that the explosions were caused by raids executed by Russian jets targeting a mosque near a hospital leaving at least one person injured.
According to AFP, Syria's civil war has killed more than 380,000 people since it started in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-government protests.
