Air raids on Syria's Aleppo as end of ceasefire nears

Published on: 

Two opposition monitoring groups are reporting multiple air raids on a rebel-held area and shelling of government-controlled parts of the northern city of Aleppo hours before a five-day cease-fire was to expire.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the local Coordination Committee say the airstrikes Monday hit several areas in Aleppo, including the neighborhood of Rashideen.

Monday’s airstrikes came a day after opposition fighters shelled the Government-held neighborhood of Midan, killing a child, state media and activists said.
