DAMASCUS, June 16 (Xinhua) -- At least 10 civilians were killed on Sunday by fresh rebel mortar fire that targeted Aleppo province in northern Syria, state news agency SANA reported.

The rebels fired their mortars on the town of Wudaihi in the southern countryside of Aleppo, said the report.

Since being recaptured by the Syrian army in 2016, the provincial capital of Aleppo remained largely safe except from the mortar shelling of the rebels.

The radical rebel groups are located in the western and northern countryside of Aleppo.

Such groups frequently fire mortar shells on Aleppo city and government areas in the countryside of that province.
