Syrian state TV says two children and an adult are killed in rebel shelling of a government-held area in the contested northern city of Aleppo.
Monday’s attack came on the fourth straight day of clashes in Aleppo, where rebels have shelled government districts and government warplanes have been carrying out airstrikes.
Activists and pro-government media have reported at least 60 people killed in the violence since Friday, including 46 in rebel-held areas. The escalating violence comes as a cease-fire, in place since late February, appears increasingly fragile.
Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and onetime commercial center, has been bitterly contested since 2012. Opposition groups control the eastern part of the city but have been boxed-in by government forces, and are now linked to the surrounding area by a single narrow corridor to the northwest.
