One of the fired shells also targeted a swimming pool and park located on the outskirts of the eastern city of Idlib, killing two and wounding five others.”

In another report, the war monitor indicated that between Sept. 1 and Sept. 6, Russian warplanes launched 46 airstrikes in the areas where the cease-fire reached between Russia and Turkey in March 2020 is in place, targeting the countryside of Latakia, Hama and Idlib.
