Airstrikes in Syria’s Aleppo and shelling in Daraa kill 14

Airstrikes on rebel-held parts of the besieged city of Aleppo killed at least eight people on Tuesday, while shelling of a government-held neighborhood in a southern Syrian city hit a school, killing at least six people, among them children, activists and state media said.  

The northern city of Aleppo, Syria’s largest and its former commercial center, has witnessed fierce fighting in recent months with government forces and their allies trying to capture neighborhoods in besieged opposition-held parts of the city. 

The activist-operated Aleppo Today TV station and Qasioun news agency say bunker-busting bombs were used in an attack on the Bustan al-Qasr neighborhood in rebel-held eastern city of Aleppo.
