The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday that government airstrikes killed at least 40 people in and around the city of Aleppo.
According to reports, in one attack, warplanes targeting rebel positions missed the target and hit a crowded vegebtable market, killing 15 people.
The same day, a separate attack on the city of al-Bab, north of Aleppo, killed 22 people.
According to reports, seven more people died in a third airstrike in the Karam el-Beik district.
The Aleppo Media Network, an activist group, confirmed the airstrikes and posted a video of what it says was the aftermath of the al-Bab raid.
According to Reuters, "A boy with blood on his head is seen in the back of a truck, and vegetable carts said to be destroyed by the strike.
"A man is heard shouting "Allahu Akbar. May God get revenge from you Bashar al-Assad." Two bodies are seen in the video, one in the back of a truck and another hanging from a truck.
"Footage shows another wounded boy being carried through the street, while two men are seen carrying another body."
Reuters also said it was unable to independently verify the content of the footage.
The strikes come as Al-Qaeda-linked rebels captured one of the largest oil fields in the eastern part of Syria.
The conflict in the country has killed so far about 120,000 people, activists say.
According to the United Nations, 100,000 Syrians have been killed, a figure that has not been updated since July, the BBC reported.
