In Syria, thirty one civilians have been killed in fresh bombardment by the regime and Russian forces in an isolated southern zone in Ghouta.
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a dozen rebels, including two top commanders were also killed in the Russian strikes.
Meanwhile, ten pro-regime fighters have been killed in Turkish air strikes targeting a checkpoint on the only road leading from Afrin to regime-controlled territory in the southeast.
The Observatory said Turkey-led forces have control over seventy percent area of the Kurdish enclave. APP/AFP
