'Over 20 killed' in air strike in Syria

By: AAP | International News | Thursday August 16 2012 6:35

 

At least 20 people, including children, have been killed in an air strike in northern Syria.

At least 10 houses have been flattened in the strike on the town of Aazaz, which lies just to the north of the city, Aleppo.

Aazaz lies just to the north of Syria's commercial hub Aleppo near the border with Turkey and is often used as a base by the rebel Free Syrian Army fighters.

The attack comes amid heavy shelling in Aleppo during the dawn-to-dusk fast which Muslims observe during the holy month of Ramadan.
