A wounded victim is rescued following overnight air strikes on Idlib

At least 23 people have been killed by Russian air strikes overnight on the rebel-held city of Idlib, in north-western Syria, activists say.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said various positions were targeted, one of them next to a hospital.

The UK-based group added that seven children were among the victims and the death toll was expected to rise.

Idlib city and the province of the same name are a bastion of groups including the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.

The Nusra Front is excluded from a partial cessation of hostilities brokered by the US and Russia in February to make way for a resumption of peace talks.
