Air strike kills 33 in Syria's Aleppo - monitoring group

BEIRUT (Reuters) - At least 33 people were killed when Syrian government warplanes attacked a busy market in a rebel-controlled district of Aleppo on Thursday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Activists in the area put the death count as high as 40 and said dozens were wounded. They said a warplane struck the neighbourhood of Hullok in the northeastern part of the city with a missile, turned around and then fired another one.
