At least 11 children were among 23 people killed in northern Syria as pro-government forces kept up their campaign against opposition areas in the country’s north, while rebels shelled a government-held district in Aleppo city.
The Kurdish security force said that at least eight more people were killed in a suspected airstrike on a crossing point connecting Kurdish-held areas with rebel areas in northern Aleppo province.
The violence yesterday comes a day after government troops repelled a rebel offensive on western parts of Aleppo city launched in late October.
Government aircraft had previously distributed fliers on the eastern districts also urging residents to leave and make use of the Russian-declared passageways to evacuate the besieged district.
While airstrikes on eastern Aleppo city have subsided, aerial bombings of rebel-held western parts of Aleppo province continued.
