Rebel-backer Turkey said its forces were targeted by an air strike, while the Syrian regime accused Turkish forces of backing “terrorists”. The convoy had entered Idlib province before heading towards a key town where Russian-backed regime forces are waging a fierce battle to retake the area from jihadists and rebels. Turkey claimed an air strike hit its convoy, killing three civilians, though a war monitor said a Russian air raid took the lives of three rebels in the surrounding area.
