MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Aleppo has seen intense fighting over the past few months, with the Syrian army and local militia forces managing to encircle large groups of militants in the eastern districts of the city.
"The command of the army made a decision to reduce the number of air forces and artillery strikes against the positions of terrorists to help the civilians who wish to leave for safer regions," the statement said, as quoted by the SANA news agency.
