Syrian warplanes bomb Aleppo, kill 3 children

Syrian activists say government warplanes again bombed the country’s commercial capital early Monday, killing five people including three children.

There were clashes between troops and rebels overnight in several districts.

 

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the opposition Local Coordination Committees said the early morning strikes destroyed two buildings in the Maadi district in southern Aleppo. Amateur video claimed to show survivors and others digging through the rubble for victims.

In Damascus, Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi said the rebels are headed for defeat.
