Russian planes strike school in Syria's Aleppo, killing 3
[AA.TR] Three children were killed and another 25 people injured on Wednesday when Russian warplanes targeted a primary school in the Syrian city of Aleppo, according to local Civil Defense sources.

The sources, who are based in the targeted area, said that Russian Arclight airstrikes had been carried out in Aleppo's Zibdiya district.

Following the strikes, Syrian Civil Defense teams rushed to the area to help the victims.

"Russian warplanes, which have been targeting civilian areas, have now begun striking schools," local activist Ahmed Abu Ammar told Anadolu Agency, going on to note that a school in Anjara and a mosque in Aleppo had both recently been targeted by Russian warplanes.

He described the Russian strikes on residential areas as "Dire Revenge" for the Assad regime's recent failure to make significant military gains in Aleppo province.

On Monday, 17 people were killed and another 25 injured when Russian warplanes targeted a school in Anjara, a town in western Aleppo.
