At least 17 civilians, including nine children and three women, were killed on Sunday when rebels shelled a regime-controlled neighborhood in the northern city of Aleppo, a monitoring group said.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights said the shelling Sunday took place in Al-Midan neighborhood, once a center for the city's thriving Armenian community.
