Syria: Army started to launch multiple attacks on rebel positions in Aleppo province
Syria’s army launched multiple attacks on rebel positions on Tuesday in the northern province of Aleppo, including insurgent-held areas of a key airbase, a monitoring group said.
Syrian government forces shelled parts of the Minnigh military airbase a day after rebels seized its strategic radar tower, months into a battle for the site in northern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
“Parts of Minnigh military airbase were shelled by regime forces… Rebels are in control of large swathes of the airbase,” the Britain-based Observatory said.
Other areas of Aleppo came under fire, two days after pro-regime media said the army would launch a campaign within “hours or days” to retake insurgent-held areas of the province.
