An airstrike by Syrian regime in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo killed 15 people, including 6 children, on Wednesday as helicopter gunships pounded a rebel-held neighborhood, activists said.
Zaman al-Wasl local reporter said the bombing had targeted Ibad al-Rahman mosque in al-Bab neighborhood minutes before the Maghrib Prayer where people were preparing their breakfast for the 21st day of Ramadan, the holy month where Muslims fast from dawn to sunset.
Regime's barrel bomb attacks have also targeted neighborhoods of Sheikh Kheder and al-Hulk in the rebel-held city.
Aleppo city is divided between the Syria military, backed by militia, and a range of insurgent groups including al Qaeda's Nusra Front, Islamist brigades and Western-backed rebels.
Meanwhile, at least 230,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict; more than double the figure documented a year ago and probably still an under-estimate, according to the United Nations.
