Suspected Russian air raids kill dozens in Syria

ALEPPO, Syria: Suspected Russian air strikes have killed at least 46 people in opposition-held parts of Syria, a monitor said, as the United Nations Security Council prepares to vote on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) on a resolution demanding a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo.

Syria’s government is waging a fierce offensive to recapture all of second city Aleppo, and it has so far captured more than 60 percent of eastern districts that fell to rebels in 2012.
