Warplanes mount new strikes on rebel-held Aleppo
BEIRUT -- Warplanes mounted a new wave of air strikes on rebel-held areas of Aleppo on Saturday, rebel sources, a rescue worker and a war monitor reported, pressing a major offensive by the Russian-backed Syrian military.
Speaking to Reuters from Aleppo, Ammar al Selmo, the head of Civil Defence in the opposition-held east, said: "Unfortunately it continues. There are planes in the sky now."
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Director Rami Abdulrahman told Reuters: "The raids are intense and continuous."
