Syrian or Russian warplanes bomb Aleppo, casualities reported -monitor
BEIRUT, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Syrian or Russian warplanes bombed the city of Aleppo and nearby villages on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported, after the Syrian military ended a seven-day ceasefire.
The air strikes hit rebel-held areas in central Aleppo and villages to the west of the city, the British-based monitoring group said, reporting a number of dead and injured.
It said it was not clear if the jets were Syrian or Russian. Moscow supports President Bashar al-Assad with its air force. (Reporting by John Davison; Editing by Louise Ireland)
