Jihadist rocket fire kills 12 civilians in Syria: state media

Rocket fire has killed 12 civilians in a regime-held village in north-western Syria, state news agency SANA has said blaming former al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham for the attack.
SANA said 15 people were also wounded late on Sunday in the attack on Al-Wadihi village south of Aleppo city and said HTS, which controls parts of Aleppo's countryside as well as most of neighbouring Idlib, was responsible.
It published graphic pictures purporting to show some of the victims in a hospital in the aftermath of the attack, including of bandaged men and children lying on stretchers, thick blankets covering their bodies.
