Damacus, November 27 (RHC)-- A terrorist rocket attack has claimed the lives of six civilians in the northwestern Syrian province of Aleppo. Terrorists fired three rockets at the Kurdish-majority town of Tell Aran in Aleppo Province, killing six civilians, including four children, the official SANA news agency reported on Thursday. The attack, which took place as students were leaving school, also seriously injured seven others.

The control of Aleppo, which used to serve as Syria's major trade hub prior to the flare-up of the country's crisis, has been divided between government and terrorists. Takfiri militants, who have overrun parts of the country, have been sowing death and destruction among the civilian population.

The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured since March 2011, according to the United Nations. The crisis has also displaced nearly half of the country's population.
