Chaos in the aftermath of a government air strike in the northern city of Aleppo, according to his video posted to a social media website. Reuters cannot independently confirm reports that the attack by President Bashar al Assad's forces left 15 people dead, including nine children.

Bodies could be seen on the street near burning vehicles and stunned locals struggle to process their losses. They don't have much time because another attack sends them scrambling for cover.

Assad has lost major swathes in the north and east of the country and is struggling to hold onto the south where rebels have gotten a foothold.
