Airstrikes in Syria kill 29: reports

A Syrian airstrike has slammed into a market, killing 24 people, while a separate attack killed 15 people in the north of the country.

Two government airstrikes have killed at least 29 people in the north, Syrian activists say.

Warplanes targeted rebel positions in an opposition-held district of Aleppo city on Saturday, but the attack missed the target and slammed into a crowded vegetable market, killing 14 people, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.

In a separate airstrike on the town of al-Bab near Aleppo, 15 people were killed, it says.

Another activist group, the Aleppo Media Network, confirmed the airstrikes and posted a video of what it says was the aftermath of the al-Bab raid.

Plumes of smoke are seen rising from ground, strewn with twisted metal and chunks of broken-up concrete.

Men can be seen pulling a person, who appears dead, out of a car.

The videos appeared authentic and corresponded with The Associated Press' reporting of the airstrikes.
