Approximately 30 air strikes hit rebel held areas in Aleppo despite Syria’s military declaring a temporary period of ‘calm’ on Saturday.
The Syrian army announced a 24 hour period of calm in the capital of Damascus late on Friday, and a further 72 hour ‘regime of calm’ in rural areas.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that at least five people were killed in Aleppo in the early hours of Saturday, reports Reuters.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to fly to Geneva later this week in hopes to reignite the Geneva peace talk process, which faltered as all parties of conflict in Syria violated the terms of the designated ceasefire.
