(Zaman Al Wasl)- Four children from the same family were killed Sunday when the Russian fighter jets hit Urum al-Kubra town in rebel-held western Aleppo countryside, local Coordination Committees said.
The attack on Oroom al-Kubra has also left one man killed and three people wounded.
The northern provinces of Aleppo and Idlib have endured to heavy aerial bombing this week as regime and its allied militias seek to control areas close to the Turkish border.
The Russian jets have also hit an outpost run by Free Syrian Army near a major border crossing with Turkey, killing at least one fighter and wounding several people, two rebel sources said Sunday.
They said several raids overnight hit Babeska, a village in Idlib province that has become a haven for FSA groups, mainly Jaish al Islam, a major insurgent group that controls the last major rebel stronghold on the doorstep of the Syrian capital.
Jaish al Islam is a signatory to a fragile ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey at the end of last year. Rebels say Russia has failed to put pressure on the Syrian government to ensure the ceasefire holds.
The Syrian government considers Jaish al Islam a terrorist group and blames it alongside other insurgents for waging recent attacks on the government-held areas in the capital.
The village also houses hundreds of families and fighters from the Damascus suburb of Daraya which was evacuated by rebels and surrendered to government control last year.
