| Rebel and regime bombardment in Syria's Aleppo on April 24 killed at least 14 civilians, emergency workers and a monitor said, on the third day of renewed violence in the battered city. Rebel rocket fire on government-held parts of the northern city killed six civilians, including a woman and two children, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. And a barrage of government air strikes that began around midday on April 24 left at least eight civilians dead. The strikes killed five people in a fruit and vegetable market in the neighbourhood of Sakhur, said a member of Aleppo's civil defence. Regime aerial bombardment left two civilians dead in the district of Shaar and another in Bab al-Nayrab, the source added. A coalition of rebel groups in Aleppo province on April 23 evening said if the regime did not halt its attacks, "we will fully disengage from the truce". The online statement, published in Arabic, said the international community had 24 hours to put pressure on Damascus before rebels would respond to the regime's "aggression". |
