In Syria, fierce fighting has erupted between rebels and the Syrian regime in the city of Aleppo. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the battle was the most intense the city had seen for more than a year. Dozens have reportedly been killed. This comes after at least three people were killed when a maternity hospital in a government-controlled section of the city was hit by rocket fire. Secretary of State John Kerry said the rockets appeared to have come from a rebel area.

Secretary of State John Kerry: “Today’s attack on a hospital appears to be rockets that have come from some area of opposition, and we are trying to determine precisely which. So the bottom line is, there is no justification for this horrific violence that targets civilians or medical facilities or first responders, no matter who it is.”

The hospital attack came days after the Syrian regime destroyed a Doctors Without Borders-backed hospital, killing the last pediatrician in rebel-held east Aleppo.
