Air strikes killed at least 12 civilians, including children, in two opposition-held neighbourhoods of Syria's Aleppo city on Thursday (July 14th), AFP reported.
Nine people were killed in the Tariq al-Bab area, and another three in the district of Salhin, both in eastern Aleppo, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
In Tariq al-Bab, civil defence workers sifted through debris looking for survivors.
The work proceeded slowly because of ongoing air strikes in the area, each raid forcing the workers to scatter and shelter in nearby buildings.
In Salhin, a video obtained by AFP of the aftermath of the strikes showed smoke billowing from the front of a multi-storey building shorn of its facade.
The charred skeleton of a car sat in front of the building.
Civil defence workers battled a fire sparked by the attack, while civilians with ladders retrieved belongings from the ruins.
