ALEPPO, Syria (AA) – A total of 22 people were killed by Syrian regime and Russian airstrikes on residential areas in northwestern Syria’s Aleppo province late Thursday, a civil defense source told Anadolu Agency Friday.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fears of being targeted, said the airstrikes hit six neighborhoods in Aleppo city, including Tariq al-Bab and al-Saliheen.

There were several women and children among the dead, the source added.

On Wednesday, the Syrian regime’s armed forces had declared a 72-hour ceasefire to be applied across all Syrian territory.
