(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 10 people have been killed and 20 wounded on Friday in regime air strikes on northern Aleppo city, local reporter said.
The aerial bombing targeted neighborhoods of al-Mashhad, Bustan al-Qasr, al-Ansari and Bab Hadid.
Recapturing all Aleppo has been a regime priority since the Russian air force intervened in support of Assad last September, tipping the conflict his way, according to Reuters.
The "cessation of hostilities" deal brokered by the United States and Russia on February 27 began to unravel in the Aleppo area this month with each side accusing the other of attacking first.
Several U.S. officials said this week that the Russian military had repositioned artillery near Aleppo, adding to speculation of an another assault on the city.
Meanwhile, rebels have made gains against Islamic State in northern countryside, taking villages of Tel Hussein, Kafr Shoush, Kafr Agha and Brigida.
