Bombing of Aleppo continues for 3rd day

Bombardments are continuing for a third consecutive day in the eastern districts of Aleppo.

Bombardments are continuing for a third consecutive day on in the eastern districts of the Syrian city of Aleppo, according to a British war monitoring group.

Dozens of people have been killed in the last two days after a three-week pause in attacks came to an end, according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

SOHR said that unidentified warplanes and government helicopters shelled areas in the neighbourhoods of Masaken Hanano, al-Sakhur, and other areas in the eastern neighbourhoods of Aleppo city.

Only material damage has been reported, the NGO said.

Russia has denied involvement in the new attacks on Aleppo that, according to SOHR, have left 61 people killed since Tuesday, when the bombings resumed.

At least 24 people died on Wednesday in artillery attacks in al-Shaar, Karam al-Baik, al-Sakhur, and 23 others were killed in bombings on Batbo town in the western countryside of Aleppo, SOHR added.
