In Syria, eight people were killed and at least 40 others were injured in Russian airstrikes in the Idlib province on Sunday.

All victims were reported to be civilians.

Search and rescue operations were ongoing in the region to rescue any survivors.

Civil defense sources said air strikes were carried out on hospitals and mosques in the city center.

In the meantime, the flow of information from the region has slowed because of intense air and missile attacks by both Syrian and Russian forces on the different points of Idlib making the Civil Defense teams - which are also known as the White Helmets - difficult to continue their search and rescue operation.

Russian jets intensified their raids on rebel-held towns and cities in Idlib, a day after rebels shot down a Russian warplane and killed its pilot.
