"There are no servicemen in this region, only schools. Despite this, terrorists struck exactly here while classes were underway. Innocent children died," police chief Zuhir Said Aldin said, as broadcast on the Rossiya 1 television channel.
During the recent months, Aleppo has been a battlefield between government forces, jihadists, and numerous opposition groups. The fighting has also affected thousands of civilians in the embattled city.
