At least seven children and two pregnant women were killed in an airstrike on Syria's opposition stronghold province of Idlib on Tuesday (November 8th), AFP reported.
The strike hit the town of Khan Sheikun in the south of the province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said.
"The strike hit a street where children were playing. Three of the dead children were from one family and were visiting their grandfather," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Four girls and three boys were killed, he said, but did not immediately have each of their ages.
Idlib province is mostly controlled by an opposition alliance known as Jaish al-Fatah, which groups Islamist factions with extremist fighters from al-Nusra Front, also known as Fatah al-Sham Front.
