Amateur video said to be filmed on Saturday purports to show air attacks on the Daraya suburb of Damascus and the city of Aleppo.

Three separate video clips were posted on a social media website. Reuters is unable to independently verify the contents of these images.

A helicopter hovered over Daraya as two explosive barrels fall from the sky, landing on buildings in the suburb sending huge clouds of smoke into the sky.

There were said to be similar scenes in Aleppo, where aircraft noise can be heard on the video segment before an explosion is seen and thick smoke rises.

Syria's civil war foes held their first face-to-face meeting on Saturday at the start of talks to end nearly three years of conflict which has killed 130,000 people and destabilized the wider Middle East.
