Rocket attacks carried out by Takfiri terrorists have claimed the lives of six civilians in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.
According to a Sunday report by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), the terrorists launched rocket attacks at al-Neil Street in Aleppo city, leaving three civilians dead, including a father and his daughter.
Another civilian was injured in the assault, which caused massive damage in the area.
Two other shells also targeted Aleppo's Shihan area, killing a civilian and injuring four others.
The city was also struck by another rocket attack, in which two were killed and fifty others injured in Aleppo's two neighborhoods of al-Tilal and al-Qassr al-Baladi.
Earlier in the day, 34 people lost their lives in aerial airstrikes on a marketplace in the town of Darkush near the Turkish border.
'The toll is expected to rise because there are dozens of people injured and many in serious condition,' said Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The recent fatalities came only two days after the United Nations said it would host separate talks with warring sides in Syria next month in a bid to put an end to more than four years of conflict in the Arab country.
Ahmad Fawzi, a communication director with the UN, told journalists on Friday that invitations had been sent out to all parties who could help end the crisis, including different Syrian factions as well as regional and international players.
Syria has been grappling with a deadly crisis since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri groups has so far claimed the lives of over 222,000 people, according to the UK-based Observatory.
