Ibrahim added that the rescue teams who rushed to the attacked hospital were also targeted in another air raid.
On Tuesday, at least 18 people were killed and more than a dozen others injured in Russian airstrikes in Syria’s northern Aleppo province, according to a Syrian civil defense official.
Russia began its military intervention in Syria in September last year, reportedly after a formal request by the embattled Bashar al-Assad regime for help against armed opposition groups.
In March, Russia announced a partial reduction of its forces deployed in the war-ravaged country.
According to a tally compiled by Anadolu Agency, more than 361,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict erupted in 2011.
