Syrian regime forces advance towards Khan Shaykhun, the site of a horrific sarin attack in 2017
This aerial view taken on August 5, 2019 shows damaged and destroyed buildings in the town of Maaret Hurmah in the southern countryside of Syria's northwestern Idlib province.
Air strikes and rocket fire by the regime and its ally Russia have pounded Idlib for more than three months, killing hundreds and displacing tens of thousands. The road in question runs through Idlib, connecting regime-held Damascus with the northern city of Aleppo, which was retaken by loyalists from the opposition in December 2016.
To the east, pro-Assad fighters are battling to control a hill just six kilometres from the town, the head of the Britain-based Observatory said.Clashes on Wednesday have killed 14 regime forces, as well as 20 militants and seven rebels, he said. 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.
