Syria: Shelling between rebels and troops kills 10 people in Idlib
Syrian government forces and rebels exchanged shellfire in north-western Syria on Monday, killing at least 10 people, most of them in rebel-held areas, state media reported.
The area has had increasing violence in recent weeks, between government troops and insurgents on the edge of the last rebel stronghold in the north-western province of Idlib.
The region had been relatively calm since a truce brokered in March last year by Turkey and Russia ended a three-month, Russian-backed government air and ground campaign.
The fighting killed hundreds and sent 1 million people fleeing towards the Turkish border.
