Air strikes on the Syrian city of Aleppo have killed at least 28 people, including children, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The attacks, reportedly by Syrian or Russian warplanes, were on rebel-held areas in the east of the city.
A correspondent for the French news agency AFP who is in Aleppo says barrel bombs were dropped on several areas.
In one neighbourhood, a hospital was hit in the bombing, wounding some staff and patients.
“All kinds of weapons were used to bomb the hospital, from midnight until about 11:00. Now it’s unusable,” Mohammad Kheir, one of its doctors said.
People of another neighbourhood reported the use of the crude unguided explosive devices too.
