At least nine civilians, including three children, are dead following government shelling on towns in the opposition-controlled northwest of Syria, the United Nations and rescue workers said Thursday.
The Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets, said artillery shelling on the town of al-Foua in eastern Idlib province killed six civilians, including a child, and injured eight others.
