Aleppo: Syrian army pounds rebels in Sheikh Saeed district
- 7 years ago
Syrian government troops and allied fighters have seized around 40 percent of the rebel-held east of Aleppo since they began an operation to recapture all of the city just over a fortnight ago. They now fully control the city's northeast and have pressed their offensive on Aleppo's southeastern edges, advancing in the Sheikh Saeed district, according to state media.
