UN chief condemns 'abhorrent' attack on market in Syria's Idlib city
“The apparent air strike took place while a ceasefire stipulated in the Four Towns Agreement, which covers Idlib city, had reportedly been restored over the weekend,” indicated a statement issued by Ban's spokesperson.
Local sources reported that the attack left dozens of civilians, including women and children, dead or wounded.
“The Secretary-General extends his deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured. He calls on all those responsible for attacks on civilians to be held accountable,” the statement concluded.
