An amateur video posted on the Internet appears to show the aftermath of a Syrian government missile attack on the war torn city of Aleppo.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says as many as 16 people were killed in the strike, including ten under the age of 18.

The 22-month-old conflict has claimed more than 60,000 lives.

And the bloodshed looks set to continue.
