Russian forces carried out the air strikes on Wednesday morning, in 
addition to targeting anti-government armed groups with 
surface-to-surface missiles, said the UK-based Syrian Observatory for 
Human Rights. Civilian deaths are being reported from apparent air strikes by 
Russian fighter jets in the Syrian province of Hama and in areas 
bordering the Idlib province.<br />

A video of the purported raids uploaded to YouTube by activists said 
at least four people were killed and dozens injured, and that the death 
toll was expected to rise.Al Jazeera could not independently verify the reports of the air strikes.The
 developments come at a time when Syrian fighters are targeting 
government forces and pro-regime units in Hama with Grad missiles, the 
Syrian Observatory said in a statement.Meanwhile, Syrian army forces have launched a ground operation in the country’s west, reports say.The offensive is targeting Khan Shaykhun, a town in Idlib 
strategically situated on a rebel-controlled route that connects Aleppo 
and Damascus.It said it has “no information about casualties” yet.Russia, a key ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government, 
started carrying out air strikes in areas across Syria last week.On Tuesday, Russian jets hit areas under the control of the Islamic 
State of the Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group in Palmyra and the 
northern outskirts of Aleppo.
