The first responders known as the Syria Civil Defence (or White Helmets) said five women and a child were killed in the attack carried out by the government.

Videos from the scene filmed by the White Helmets showed a narrow alley blocked by the debris from a pulverized building.

Survivors covered in white dust were among those who lifted a wounded man on a gurney and a young girl into the ambulance.

Rescue workers were still searching for survivors under the rubble after the airstrikes hit in the town of Ariha.
