Syria conflict: Aleppo bombed by fighter planes
Fighter jets have bombed eastern areas of Syria's second city Aleppo, a BBC reporter near the city says.
The attack is seen as a significant escalation in the conflict.
It is thought to be the first time that warplanes have been used in Aleppo, our correspondent says.
Rebels launched an offensive against Aleppo at the weekend in an attempt to wrest control of the city from the army. Fierce fighting has been reported close to Aleppo's historic Old City.
