Several people have been killed and many more injured in a rebel rocket attack on a hospital in the city of Aleppo, according to Syrian state media.
The attack on Tuesday adds to a toll of more than 250 people killed in less than two weeks of fighting in the northern city.
"[Dozens] martyred and wounded in rockets fired by terrorists at al-Dabit Hospital," a news flash carried on state TV said.
Several hospitals and clinics have previously been hit by deadly air strikes on rebel-held areas of the city.
The latest attack comes as diplomatic pressure is growing for Aleppo to be included in a ceasefire.
