Video being shared around in private Telegram chats yesterday shows a Russian airstrike being carried out against what is believed to be a group of militant extremists southwest of the city of Idlib.

This video was released just days after the BBC reported that an airstrike by Russian forces killed fifteen Syrian civilians outside of a market near Jisr al-Shughour in what is being called the most deadly Russian attack in Syria this year.

There is no evidence that this video is the airstrike reported on previously by the BBC however, and it does not appear as if this group is a group of civilians making their way into a market.
