Damascus's regime air strikes on Syria's last major opposition bastion killed nine civilians on Wednesday, hitting a vegetable market despite a fresh Russian-backed truce, a war monitor said.

According to the report, at least 20 other civilians were wounded in the raids that struck a bustling area of Idlib city, capital of the rebel-held province of the same name, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
