Despite the ognoing ceasefire, US-backed ‘opposition groups’ shelled a humanitarian corridor that had been set up to allow civilians to leave the militant-controlled areas of Aleppo. At least 6 mortar shells were fired into the corridor in the Bustan al-Qasr neighborhood. The corridor’s exit is located about 200 meters from the US-backed ‘opposition’ positions and can be reached with small arms and mortar fire.
We recall France, the UK, the US and Ukraine have blocked in the United Nations Security Council a Russian draft statement in support of efforts to separate terrorists and opposition in Syria and the Western-backed militant groups have denied to leave the city.
