Bus hit in Syria in regime strike, 10 civilians dead

The Castello road, where a bus was also hit by regime bombing raids, is a key rebel supply route out of divided Aleppo

Ten civilians were killed near Aleppo on Friday when regime air raids hit a bus travelling on a key road out of the embattled northern Syrian city, the civil defence said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group, also reported intense raids on the road but gave a lower toll of eight civilians killed.
