Syrian regime forces enter the key town of Khan Shaykhun in Idlib province after fierce clashes with rebels
A war monitor says"fierce clashes" between loyalist forces, militants and allied rebels were taking place one kilometre west of Khan Shaykhun in Idlib province.
"Regime forces entered the town of Khan Shaykhun for the first since they lost control of it in 2014," said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Pro-regime forces are deployed around three kilometres from the road and have been advancing over the past few days in a bid to encircle Khan Shaykhun from the north and the west and seize the highway.
A buffer zone deal brokered by Russia and Turkey last year was supposed to protect the Idlib region's three million inhabitants from an all-out regime offensive, but it was never fully implemented.A US agreement to set up a safe zone in northern Syria, a close ally of Iran, is "provocative and worrisome", the Iranian foreign ministry was reported to have said by the semi-official Fars news agency.
On Sunday air strikes by the Syrian regime and its ally Russia killed two people, including a child, in the south of Idlib, the Observatory said.
