BEIRUT: Syrian government aircraft struck a busy market Thursday in a rebel-held district of Aleppo, killing at least 33 people in the latest deadly attack targeting mainly civilians in the contested city, opposition activists said.
Several activists said a government helicopter dropped three barrel bombs that exploded in the Hillok district, which was packed with shoppers at the time. They said the attack wounded scores of people.
“It was mayhem; many of the bodies are burned,” said Hasson Abu Faisal, an activist in Aleppo.
It is the latest deadly government strike on the city.
