Syria airstrike on market ‘kills 20’

A Syrian government airstrike on a market in a rebel-held town has killed more than 20 people, activist groups say.

The air raid on Atareb village, north of the city of Aleppo, also injured dozens of people, activists said.

Syria is engulfed in a three-year civil war, which has killed about 150,000 people.

 

Government forces have made gains recently, but rebels still control large territories.

Air strikes hit the busy vegetable market early on Thursday morning, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
