Western media reports that the airstrikes were conducted by Syrian or Russian aircraft as part of an offensive launched by President Bashar al-Assad.

At least six people were killed in airstrikes on two hospitals in rebel-controlled [East] Aleppo, Reuters reported Wednesday, and the World Health Organization confirmed that both Syrian facilities are now out of service.

The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned Wednesday that attacks on medical facilities constitute war crimes.
