An airstrike occurred on Sunday in Jisr al-Shughur, Syria, resulting in the death of at least nine people at a busy vegetable market. Reports suggest that the strike was launched by Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The White Helmets, a civil defense organization, reported that over 30 individuals were injured and expected the death toll to rise. The attack was targeted at the main vegetable market, where farmers from northern Syria gather. Wounded individuals were quickly transported to the hospital in vegetable trucks, while activists called for urgent blood donations. The Syrian government and Russia have not commented on the airstrike, but Damascus claims that strikes in the northwest province target armed insurgent groups. The region is mainly controlled by Hayat Tahrir al Sham, a militant group, as well as Turkish-backed forces.
