Aleppo pounded from air as truce frays

Four air strikes have hit rebel-held parts of Syria’s Aleppo, a monitor said, in the first raids on the battered city since a truce came into force.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says several people were wounded but could not immediately give details about casualties or identify who carried out the strikes.

The bombing comes after the truce appeared to teeter following a US airstrike on Syrian troops.

The truce saw violence drop across Syria for several days after it came into force Monday, but fighting has since erupted on several fronts and besieged civilians are still waiting desperately for promised aid deliveries.

The ceasefire’s co-sponsors, Russia and the United States, have traded accusations over the fraying deal.
