At least 25 children are dead after a government plane bombed an elementary school in Aleppo, Syria on Wednesday.
The children died when Syrian forces dropped a "barrel bomb" on a school in the rebel-held city, CNN reported (http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/30/world/meast/syria-civil-war/), citing the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria, on the day an exhibit of their art depicting the Syrian war was set to open (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/world/middleeast/syria.html).
Barrel bombs are essentially oil drums packed to the brim with shrapnel, nails and explosives; they have been systematically deployed (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/in-syria-barrel-bombs-bring-a-new-form-of-terror-and-death-to-aleppo/2013/12/23/6f8a7f0c-6bed-11e3-aecc-85cb037b7236_story.html) against Syria's civilian population, and "tend to create larger zones of building destruction," according to Human Rights Watch (http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/04/28/syria-new-barrel-bombs-hit-aleppo).
