The World Health Organization says there are about 17 times as many new infections outside China as in it, with widening outbreaks in South Korea, Italy and Iran responsible for a majority of the new cases.

The activists blame Russian warplanes for the airstrike in Syria’s Idlib province, the country’s last rebel stronghold. Thursday’s strike came amid a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive to retake the province, which has led to direct fighting between Syrian and Turkish forces. Turkey and Russia are the two main power brokers in Syria, each supporting rival sides in the nine-year conflict.
