Russia bombs rebels after Aleppo 'chlorine' attack

Baladi News - Media

Russia on Sunday said it launched airstrikes on Syrian "terrorist" groups it accused of carrying out a chlorine attack on Aleppo the previous day.

"As a result of the strikes, all of the rebel fighter targets were destroyed," the TASS state news agency reported, citing defense ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said multiple ariel bombardments hit the edges of the last opposition Idlib bastion on Sunday.

Aleppo was retaken by government forces in 2016, following years of siege. Despite a subsequent truce brokered by Turkey and Russia, rebels have intensified their shelling of the city in recent weeks. Assad regime has responded by launching attacks on rebel positions elsewhere in Aleppo province.
