Twelve civilians were killed and another five injured late Monday in a Syrian regime missile shelling on Bidama town in Idlib province, a Syrian Civil Defense official said.

Muhammed Khubeir, a Civil Defense official in Bidama town, told Anadolu Agency that the shelling was carried out by the Assad regime. The injured were taken to the town’s field hospital.

Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since 2011, when the regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests.
