Syria conflict: Fighting rages in battle for Aleppo

Heavy shelling and clashes between government forces and rebels have been reported in and around Syria's biggest city, Aleppo.

Government tanks have pushed into the strategically important district of Salah al-Din, meeting heavy resistance from rebels, reports say.

Video has emerged of buildings reduced to rubble, said to have been filmed after a bombardment near Aleppo.

The use of heavy weapons has been condemned by Amnesty International.

Activists say shellfire killed at least 12 people in Aleppo on Wednesday, in a report which could not be confirmed independently.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least 225 people were killed across Syria on Tuesday alone. Its toll includes 129 civilians, 50 rebels and 46 soldiers.
