At least 51 civilians, including four children, were killed in air raids and shelling attacks in Syria's battleground city Aleppo and the neighbouring countryside, a monitoring group said.
Syrian air force raids left 15 people dead yesterday in rebel-held areas in the east of Aleppo city. Nine civilians died in rebel shelling on the government-held west, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Another 27 people were killed in Syrian and Russian raids targeting a string of towns in the west of Aleppo province, the Britain-based group added.
