Beirut: Twelve people, all but one civilians, were killed in an explosion in the jihadist-held region of Idlib in northwest Syria on Wednesday, a war monitor said.

It was not clear if the cause of the blast near the market in the town of Jisr al-Shughur was a car bomb, or a vehicle carrying explosives, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
