Syrian rebels fighters witness what they say is an airstrike on a military base in Idlib province.
The video, which cannot be verified by Reuters, appears to show Taftanaz airbase under heavy fire.
A second video from the same area is said to show a bomb falling from a military helicopter on Wednesday (January 9).
It breaks up before hitting the ground.
A voice behind the camera says it's a cluster bomb - being dropped to fight a rebel siege.
More amateur video from the same day appears to show rebels gathered inside a building at the airport.
They surround an armoured personnel carrier - and the body of a government soldier.
Taftanaz is a key military airbase in northern Syria and has seen fierce fighting as rebels attempt to gain ground.
Government forces have increasingly used airpower to bombard opposition fighters.
