Syrian or Russian warplanes bombed aid trucks near Aleppo late on Monday after a fragile week-long ceasefire ended, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

It said the trucks had made a routine aid delivery organized by an international organization to an area west of Aleppo city, and had been hit near the town of Urm al-Kubra.

The Syrian army could not immediately be reached for comment.

A local resident told Reuters by phone that the trucks had been hit by around five missiles while parked in a center belonging to the Syrian Red Crescent in Urm al-Kubra. The head of the center and several others were badly injured, they said.
