Old Town Aleppo owned Syrian army

The historic town of Aleppo is now wholly owned by the Syrian army.

East-Aleppo is the main urban area that up to now was under the control of several rebel groups. Who during the battles in the past two weeks lost about two-thirds of the district.

Aleppo for the ground offensive was very heavily bombed by the Syrian and Russian Air Force. The Russians sailed to own say in weeks of air attacks anymore. They leave the battle on the ground forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
