At least 25 people have died in a third consecutive day of Syrian government air strikes and shelling on rebel-held parts of Aleppo, activists say.

Eight besieged eastern districts were reportedly bombarded, as government forces stepped up an offensive.

A three-week moratorium on air strikes declared by the government and its ally Russia came to an end on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, another 20 people were killed in car-bomb attack in the rebel-held town of Azaz, north of Aleppo.
