Russian and Syrian warplanes target rebels in Aleppo

Russian and Syrian warplanes have targeted insurgents in an Aleppo suburb, The Guardian writes, referring to Syrian military sources.

To remind, Russia has promised Damascus extra military aid to thwart the rebels, which will start arriving in the next 72 hours.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called the situation in Aleppo an attack on Syrian sovereignty.

“We are in favor of the Syrian authorities bringing order to the area and restoring constitutional order as soon as possible,” Peskov said.
