Syria's state news agency says rebel shelling has killed at least four civilians in government-held areas of the contested northern city of Aleppo.
SANA says the shelling on Thursday also wounded four others.
It came just hours after a series of airstrikes hit a hospital and nearby buildings in the rebel-held areas of the city, killing at least 20, including doctors and children.
Aleppo is Syria's largest city and onetime commercial center. It has been bitterly contested since 2012. Opposition groups control the eastern part of the city but have been boxed-in by government forces, and are now linked to the surrounding area by a single narrow corridor to the northwest.
It's in Aleppo that the now-teetering cease-fire has most been tested, and where more than half of the nearly 200 civilians killed in the past week died from the violence.
