Syria government airstrike kills two

A Syrian government airstrike on an opposition-held district in Aleppo has killed at least two people.

It is alleged to have been a chlorine gas attack, on the city’s eastern Zabadieh neighbourhood. At least four barrel bombs were dropped on the area, one of which purportedly released the chlorine gas.

A father recounted gasping for breath and cowering with his family on the top floors of their apartment building, as a choking gas filled the hallway.
