ATAREB: A Syrian man carries a child following a reported airstrike on the rebel-held town of Atareb in Syria's northern Aleppo province on Monday. — AFP ALEPPO, Nov 14 (Agencies): At least 43 civilians have been killed and dozens more wounded in three air raids on a busy market in al-Atarib, a town in Syria's western Aleppo province.
Al Jazeera reporting from Idlib city, Syria, said the overall toll was expected to rise because dozens of people had been wounded or were still missing after the attack.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was not immediately clear whether Monday's attacks on al-Atarib, a town in a so-called de-escalation zone, had been carried out by Syrian or Russian warplanes.
Videos posted on social media purported to show massive destruction at the scene with rubble from damaged buildings covering the town's street and peoples faces drenched in blood.
Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has suggested Russia and the US should pull their troops out of war-torn Syria after their leaders - Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump - said there was "no military solution" to the country's long-running conflict.
"I am having trouble understanding these comments," Erdogan was quoted by reporters as saying on Monday before he flew out to Russia's coastal city of Sochi for talks with Putin.
