At least 15 people, including 8 children, were killed on Saturday in barrel bomb attacks on al-Hamidiyya neighborhood in the northeastern city of Deir Ezzor, activists said.
8 children, mostly brothers, and a women were among the casualties of the Syrian regime airstrikes on the rebel-held neighborhood, Mohamed Hassan, local activist, told Zaman al-Wasl.
For months, the regime has waged an unrelenting aerial campaign against the opposition-held areas making particular use of crude so-called barrel bombs.
Rights groups criticize the weapons as indiscriminate and say they are more likely to cause civilian casualties.
Syria's four-year-old war has killed more than 220,000 people and forced millions out of their homes.
