Dozens of casualties in air raid on Syria's Aleppo: NGO

November 22, 2012 04:26

Syrian warplanes today bombarded a rebel-held district of the city of Aleppo, causing dozens of casualties, as soldiers repelled an attack on a nearby army base, a monitoring group said.

"Dozens of people were killed or injured by an air strike on a building in the district of Shaar" in eastern Aleppo, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, without giving a precise toll.

"The field hospital was badly damaged by the strike," the Britain-based monitoring group added. Amateur video filmed in Shaar and distributed by the Observatory showed people gathering around the destroyed building, which was reduced to a mountain of grey rubble.
