Russian jets pounded several targets in northern Syria near the Turkish border on Sunday, including a gas facility.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the Syrian army also attacked a hospital in the area, killing seven civilians, among them a child, the news wire said, citing witnesses and rebel sources.

Syria’s government launched a Russian backed offensive to recapture Idlib in April 2019. Turkey has deployed troops and backed opposition forces to try to halt the advance, which has displaced around 1 million people.

Dozens of vehicles carrying goods in a trailer park near Bab al Hawa, a border crossing with Turkey, were on fire following the attack on the gas facility.

Turkey has requested that Russia immediately halt the attacks, the Defence Ministry said.

“Our troops have been alerted,” it said.
