31 Killed in Missile Strike on Syria’s Aleppo, Including 14 Children

• Antiwar.com
 A surface-to-surface missile struck the Jabal Badro neighborhood in the contested north Syrian city of Aleppo Monday, killing at least 31 people including 14 children, according to reports from rebels.
 
The neighborhood is said to be a particularly poor one, with a lot of ramshackle housing, and the single strike was enough to knock down several buildings in the immediate vicinity.

Though missiles are overwhelmingly in the regime arsenal, it isn’t clear who fired this particular one, or what they were actually aiming at. Presumably, the missile was not aimed at the random neighborhood.
