Syria: At Least 12 Dead in Missile Attack


Three missiles crashed into residential areas of Syria’s northern city of Aleppo on Friday, killing at least 12 civilians, activists said, according to BBC News.

Video footage posted online claims to show the aftermath, with people carrying away the wounded and a wide area reduced to rubble, the report said.

An activist in Aleppo told the BBC there are families buried under the rubble in one neighborhood.

“Please continue to pray for the people of Syria.”

The reasons for the latest attack are unclear, and it is also not clear who launched the missiles.

Earlier this week, activists accused the government forces of targeting other areas of Aleppo with Russian-made Scud-type missiles.

An activist called Baraa al-Youssef told Reuters that 30 homes had been destroyed by one of the rockets.

“Nothing can describe it, it’s a horrible sight,” he said.

“At least 12 bodies have been recovered so far and there are more than 50 people wounded,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
