Damascus (AFP) — A two-day wave of regime air strikes on a north Syrian town has killed 50 people, a monitor said Sunday, while in Damascus a mortar round struck the French school without causing injuries.
On the political front, Syria's deputy foreign minister insisted that no solution to Syria's conflict proposed at a January 22 peace conference in Geneva would be implemented without President Bashar al-Assad's approval.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that helicopters on Sunday dropped explosive-laden barrels on the rebel-held town of Al-Bab in northern Syria's Aleppo province, killing at least 24 people, including two women and four children.
Their deaths in a market area of Al-Bab came a day after similar aerial bombardments on the same town that killed at least 26 others. [...]
Syria's war has killed more than 120,000 people and forced millions more to flee their homes.
(Reuters) The Observatory said 212 people were killed across Syria on Saturday, bringing the death toll since Thursday to over 600.
