Russian warplanes carry out fresh air strikes in de-escalation zone in northwestern Syria, killing at least 26 civilians - White Helmets
A Syrian man mourns the death of family members next to the rubble of his house following a reported air strike on the village of Kafr Nuran, in the western countryside of the northern province of Aleppo, on January 21, 2020.
Another child was killed in Aleppo's Takad village while two other civilians were killed in Idlib's Bara village. Although the Russian Defence Ministry announced that a ceasefire went into effect as of January 9, the regime and Iranian-backed groups maintained ground attacks on the opposition-held city.
The Damascus regime, which controls around 70 percent of the country after nearly nine years of war, has repeatedly vowed to recapture the region. Turkey, Russia, and Iran held meetings in Astana city of Kazakhstan in 2017 and announced that Idlib and neighbouring cities, eastern Ghouta region of capital Damascus and southern regions, namely Daraa and Quneitra cities, would be de-escalation zones.
In an exclusive interview with Anadolu Agency, Raed al Saleh said: "The ceasefire in Idlib seems to be collapsed...the regime attempts to seize Idlib through evacuation."
