Air raids on two rebel-held districts of Syria's battleground second city Aleppo Tuesday killed 19 civilians, including three children, activists said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strikes were carried out by either Russian or government aircraft and that dozens of people were also wounded, some of them critically, in Tariq al-Bab and Al-Sakhur neighborhoods.

An AFP correspondent in eastern districts of Aleppo said there were heavy airstrikes throughout Monday night and into the day Tuesday on both those districts.

The Britain-based Observatory also said that 12 rebels were killed in Russian airstrikes Tuesday targeting a convoy of anti-government fighters on the city's southern outskirts.
