MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The mustard gas attack was carried out on Tuesday on a government-controlled neighborhood, the Press TV broadcaster said.
Jihadists of the group outlawed in Russia and many other countries worldwide used mortars during the attack.
Aleppo has been mired in intense fighting, with the Syrian army and local militia forces having managed to encircle up to 8,000 militants headed by the Jabhat Fatah al Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, outlawed in Russia, in eastern districts of Aleppo.
