BEIRUT (AP) — The Latest on Syria's civil war (all times local):

7:45 p.m.

The Russian Defense Ministry denies that its warplanes bombed a hospital in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.

Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement Thursday that Russian aircraft have flown no missions in the Aleppo region in the past several days.

Monitors and activists say at least 60 people have been killed in airstrikes on Aleppo in the last 24 hours, including at least 14 who were killed when an MSF-supported hospital and nearby buildings were hit.

The Russian military says its warplanes in Syria do not hit opposition forces that are observing the cease-fire and that have informed either the Russian or U.S. military of their location.
