Russia also accused insurgents of bombarding Aleppo with shells filled with chlorine gas, poisoning dozens of people, including children
Shelling by insurgents wounded more than 100 people in a suspected toxic gas attack in Syria’s Aleppo, which a health official said was the first such assault in the city.
The shells caused dozens of people breathing problems on Saturday night in Aleppo, while government shelling killed nine people in a village in Idlib, a monitoring group said.
State news agency SANA said on Sunday 107 people were injured in Aleppo after militants hit three districts with projectiles containing gases that caused choking.
It marks the highest such casualty toll in Aleppo since government forces and their allies clawed back the city from rebels nearly two years ago.
Rebel officials denied using chemical weapons and accused the Damascus government of trying to frame them.
