Syria civil war: Dozens killed in Aleppo air strikes

Government air strikes leave more than 30 civilians dead, including 10 when their bus was hit, rescue workers say.

 

Syrian government air strikes have killed dozens of civilians in and around the northern city of Aleppo, volunteer rescuers have said. At least 28 people were killed in raids on several neighbourhoods in the rebel-held east of Aleppo, the civil defence, also known as the White Helmets, said on Friday.


Dozens of barrel bombs - crude, unguided explosive devices – were dropped in the strikes, described by an AFP news agency correspondent as the most intense in more than a week.
