Government forces shelled Syria's last major rebel bastion today (September 12, 2018), just hours after UN chief Antonio Guterres warned the Security Council any full-blown offensive in Idlib province risks triggering a "bloodbath," according to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website.
Intermittent artillery fire hit southern districts of Idlib and adjacent rebel-held areas of Hama province.
The northwestern province and adjacent areas form the largest chunk of territory still held by the rebels in Syria.
UN agencies and relief organizations have warned repeatedly that any major attack on Idlib could spark one of the worst humanitarian disasters of Syria's civil war, now in its seventh year.
