Aleppo: UN envoy Mistura 'appalled' by "rebel" attacks

The UN special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, says he is "appalled and shocked" that "rebels" in Aleppo are targeting civilians in the city.

The "relentless and indiscriminate" rocket attacks had killed scores of civilians in western Aleppo in the past 48 hours, Mr de Mistura said.

Such attacks could amount to war crimes, he said.

On Friday, rebels began an offensive aimed at breaking the government siege of east Aleppo.
