A convoy of aid trucks has been hit by an air strike near the Syrian city of Aleppo, reports say, hours after the military declared the current cessation of violence was over. The UN said at least 18 trucks in the 31-vehicle convoy were destroyed late on Monday en route to deliver humanitarian assistance to the hard-to-reach town of Orum al-Kubra. Syrian or Russian warplanes bombed aid trucks near Aleppo late on Monday after a week-long ceasefire ended, killing 12 people, including Red Crescent workers, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and opposition activists said. A local resident told Reuters by phone that the trucks had been hit by around five missiles while parked in a centre belonging to the Syrian Red Crescent in Urm al-Kubra. The Observatory reported at least 40 strikes in and around Aleppo since the truce ended, and said some 32 people had been killed in all.
