The Representatives of SOHR specify that Russia has not performed airstrikes in Syria since the creation of a de-escalation zone in Syria in summer of 2017.
“The intensive shelling resulted in increasing the number of people who have been displaced from the areas which have been subjected to shelling as well as the areas near the battle fronts,” SOHR adds.
