The Syrian national TV has denied reports about a Syrian airstrike on a rebel-held hospital in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Thursday.
Citing a military source, the TV said the news reports about the airstrike aims "to help the rebels cover their crimes against the innocent people of Aleppo."
Earlier in the day, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a Syrian airstrike killed 10 people in a hospital in al-Sukary neighborhood in the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo.
Meanwhile, the Syrian official media said the rebels have shelled several residential areas in Aleppo on Thursday, killing 14 people.
The situation in Aleppo has deteriorated over the past six days, after the rebels of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front started attacking government positions south of Aleppo and the rebels' Free Syrian Army started raining down Aleppo with tens of mortar shells on daily basis, leaving hundreds killed or wounded.
