Other photographs show him being given oxygen after having spent a long time inhaling dust and concrete particles.

He was injured in the bombing of Fardous, a rebel-held neighbourhood in the east of Aleppo.

In recent days Vladimir Putin has ignored the international community's condemnation of his aerial war boosting Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Despite evidence showing his airstrikes are killing more civilians than rebel fighters, he has vowed to continue bombing and says civilian deaths are just a 'sad reality of war'.

His bombing campaigns are killing civilians daily, which both Britain and France have labelled a 'war crime'.

Syrian opposition activists said yesterday that more than a dozen airstrikes were carried out overnight on rebel-held parts of Aleppo.

The airstrikes came a day after an air raid hit east Aleppo's biggest market, killing at least 15 people and leveling buildings.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported more than 20 airstrikes on eastern Aleppo, adding that clashes were taking place between government forces and insurgents on the city's northern edge.

The Halab Today TV channel reported "intense" airstrikes on rebel-held parts of Syria's largest city, adding that cluster bombs were being dropped.

The Observatory said Wednesday that at least 358 civilians have been killed in eastern Aleppo since a U.S. and Russian-brokered truce collapsed on September 19.

This death toll is believed to include more than 100 children.
