Dozens of civilians are reported to have been killed in an air strike on a rebel-held town in northern Syria.

The Syria Civil Defence, whose rescue workers are also known as the White Helmets, said a raid on Atareb had left 43 people dead, among them children.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the town’s market was hit and that 29 were killed.

It is not clear whether the strike was carried out by Syrian government warplanes or those of its ally Russia.

But the town is located in an area of Aleppo province.
