Syria: Shelling and air strikes resume in Aleppo

 

Airstrikes on rebel-held areas of Aleppo and shelling of government-held areas of the city resumed Friday, after a brief dawn lull following seven days of violence, a war activist, a civil defense worker and Syrian state media said.

At least one child died and five people were injured in airstrikes Friday on rebel-held areas, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

 

The strikes come on the same day as Russian state media said a “regime of silence” agreement in Syria sponsored by Russia and the United States will apply for 24 hours in Damascus and the surrounding area and 72 hours in Latakia.
