Syrian activists say airstrikes in the country's rebel-held Idlib province have killed at least 11 people.

The Syrian Civil Defense search-and-rescue group said it had counted 15 fatalities.

The strikes come as an opposition delegation gears up to meet on Monday with UN mediator Staffan de Mistura in Geneva to continue talks aimed at resolving Syria's six-year-old war.
