Airstrikes in Syria Kill at Least 23, Wound Dozens; Unclear If Syrian or Russian Planes Waged Strikes

Airstrikes today (July 8, 2016) on a village in northwestern Syria have killed more than 20 people and wounded dozens more, the Newsmax website reports.

Today's airstrikes hit the village of Darkoush in Idlib province -- near Syria's border with Turkey -- on the last day of a three-day cease-fire announced by the Syrian army. Despite the declared truce, violence has continued unabated.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 23, including two children.

It was not clear whether it was Syrian or Russian warplanes that carried out the airstrikes on Darkoush.
