The Russian military says three children have been killed in rebel shelling of a school in the western part of the city of Aleppo, controlled by the Syrian government.
Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Chirkin described the Idlib deaths as frightful, expressing the hope that "we were not involved".
"If you have any information that there were any missile and bomb strikes, please provide this information", Churkin said, adding he expected an "objective analysis" of the current situation.
Hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed or injured in Russian and Syrian airstrikes since September 19, when the Bashar al-Assad regime announced the end of a week-long truce.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the deployment is likely to include "armored Infantry, equipped with Warrior armored fighting vehicles, tactical UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and a troop of our Challenger 2 main battle tanks".
The Syrian army said it took control of the central Farafra neighborhood in Aleppo's old city Tuesday, bringing it closer to the rebel-held eastern areas.

Also to be added to the fleet are the Bastion and Bal land-based missile systems anti-ship missiles with a maximum range of 300 kilometres.
