Regime airstrikes killed at least 10 people in Syria's northern city of Aleppo Tuesday, according to Agence France-Presse.


"An airstrike hit the area of a bus station... in Jisr al-Hajj..we have documented 10 deaths," The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP.


The attack targeted the westernmost part of the city, which is known to be a rebel stronghold.


Regime strikes also targeted the Ansari area in the east of the city, according to the Observatory.


According to Aleppo-based citizen journalist Mohammed Al Khatieb, "There has been aerial bombing every day [in Aleppo] since December 15, except for the days when visibility was poor because of the weather."


Regime air strikes previously killed more than 500 in less than a fortnight in December 2013.


The Observatory distributed amateur video footage of the attacks to AFP.
