Regime airstrikes in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo killed at least 15 people, including six children, on Wednesday as helicopter gunships pounded a rebel-held neighborhood, activists said.
A Zaman al-Wasl local reporter said the bombing targeted the Ibad al-Rahman mosque in the district of al-Bab minutes before the Maghrib prayer following sunset for the 21st day of Ramadan.
Regime barrel bomb attacks also targeted neighborhoods of Sheikh Kheder and al-Hulk in the rebel-held city.
Aleppo city is divided between the Syrian military – backed by pro-regime militia – and a range of insurgent groups including the Nusra Front, Islamist brigades and Western-backed rebels.
