DAMASCUS (Sputnik) – The recapture of the Aleppo-Khanaser road by the Syrian army and its allies, as reported by the Arabic Al Mayadeen broadcaster, comes a day after reports of government forces liberating Khanaser from Daesh jihadist fighters after three days of fighting.
The threat of a terrorist counter-attack has delayed the restoration of traffic along the road.
The Ithriyah-Khanaser-Aleppo bypass road is the only supply route for government troops, fuel, products and other necessities.
