(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 9 civilians were killed on Friday when regime warplanes hit minibus in the southern countryside of Aleppo province, activists said.
The aerial campaign extended on the stricken province, local reporter said. The morning strikes targeted minibus in Khan Touman south of Aleppo.
Meanwhile, Syrian resistance forces on Friday have thwarted regime and allied militias' attack on a military complex they lost 10 days ago including the Air Force Collage and Artillery School in Ramussa district.
Regime militants waged Thursday major offensive to take al-Qarasi town, such an attack has been faced with remarkable solidity by the resistance forces who inflicted heavy losses in regime ranks.
On Thursday, Regime air strikes killed 11 people in the neighborhoods of al-Salehin, Tariq al-Bab and Dhahrat Awad.
Russia said on Thursday it would support a 48-hour ceasefire in Aleppo, a move the U.N. Syria envoy said would allow aid to reach besieged areas soon, as long as all sides respect the temporary truce.
Western diplomats gave cautious welcome to the announcement, while raising questions about Moscow's motives and stressing the United Nations must be in charge of a sustained aid operation.
U.N. Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura has long called for a 48-hour halt in fighting each week to allow aid delivery and medical evacuations from both rebel-held eastern and government-controlled western Aleppo.
Aleppo, Syria's most populous pre-war city and its commercial hub, has become the focus of fighting in the five-year-old civil war. Up to 2 million people on both sides lack clean water after infrastructure was damaged in bombing.
More than 400,000 people have been killed and millions displaced since the beginning of Syria's revolution, which started in 2011 with anti-regime protests. (With Reuters)
