Summary More than 210,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict
BEIRUT (AFP) - Nine people, including three children, were killed Monday in rebel fire on a government-held neighbourhood in Syria s northern city of Aleppo, Syria s state news agency SANA said.
It said they were killed in Hay al-Seryan, in government-controlled west Aleppo, but gave no further details.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor, also reported nine deaths, but said that 4 children had been killed.
It said another 20 people were wounded.
Once Syria s industrial powerhouse, Aleppo has been divided between government control in the west of the city and opposition control in the east since shortly after fighting began there in mid-2012.
Government forces regularly carry out air strikes on rebel-held neighbourhoods.
More than 210,000 people have been killed in Syria s conflict, which began with peaceful demonstrations in 2011, but devolved into civil war after a government crackdown on protesters.
