BEIRUT (Reuters) – A Syrian maternity hospital in a rebel-held area of Idlib province was extensively damaged on Friday after a direct hit, international charity Save the Children, which supports the hospital, said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors violence in Syria’s five-year-old conflict, said air strikes hit the hospital and also a civil defense building.
The number of casualties is not yet known, a spokesman for Save the Children said.
The hospital in Kafer Takhareem, the only maternity facility for about 70 miles (110 km), works with around 1,300 women and children a month and delivered some 340 babies last month, the spokesman said.
In another part of the northern Idlib countryside, air strikes on Friday killed at least five people and seriously injured more than 25, the Observatory said.

Wikiendi hii msimu wa Ligi Daraja la Kwanza 2015/16, unatarajiwa kuhitimishwa kwa kuchezwa mechi 12 katika viwanja tofauti huku timu zote 24 zikishuka dimbani, zipo zinazosaka pointi muhimu huku nyingine zikikamilisha ratiba tu kwani hazina cha kupoteza. Tayari Ruvu Shooting kutoka Kundi B, imeshajikatia tiketi ya kucheza Ligi Kuu Bara msimu ujao, huku JKT Kanembwa iliyokuwa Kundi C ikiwa ni timu ya kwanza kushuka daraja. Vita iliyobaki ni ya kutafuta nafasi ya kuungana na Ruvu Shooting na nyingine ni ile ya kuepuka kuifuata JKT Kanembwa. Katika vita ya kupanda, African Lyon inaongoza Kundi A ikiwa na pointi 26, inafuatiwa na Friends Rangers yenye pointi 23 sawa na Ashanti United inayoshika nafasi ya tatu, lakini tofauti ya mabao ya kufunga na kufungwa ndiyo inayowatenganisha. Mechi zao za mwisho, African Lyon vs Ashanti na Friends vs Kiluvya United, hivyo basi endapo Friends ikiibuka na ushindi na Lyon ikapoteza basi Friends inapanda, lakini ...

REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean and U.S. troops began large-scale military exercises on Monday in an annual test of their defenses against North Korea, which called the drills “nuclear war moves” and threatened to respond with an all-out offensive.

Security Council resolution and tough new sanctions.
