IDLIB, Syria (AA) - Six Syrian civilians, including two children, were killed Saturday in shelling from the Bashar al-Assad regime and Iran-affiliated terrorist groups, in breach of a truce in northwestern Idlib de-escalation zone.

Regime forces stationed in the Al-Hamidiya base in southeast Idlib violated the cease-fire by shelling a village with surface-to-surface missiles.

According to the Syria Civil Defense, or White Helmets, an initial assessment of a village in the Jabal al-Zawiya province found that three women were also killed and several civilians injured in the attack.

Six civilians, including three children and one civil defense volunteer, have been killed in attacks by regime forces on the Sirce village since Friday.
