Syria: Govt. forces recapture strategic neighbourhood in W. Aleppo

The Syrian Arab Army retook the Minian neighbourhood of Aleppo from Jaish al-Fateh, Wednesday, pushing the militants into the Dahiyat al-Assad district. An alliance of militant groups seized control of large parts of Minian on October 29 as part of a wider offensive to lift the siege on opposition-controlled areas in the city’s east. Aleppo is facing some of the most fierce battles it has seen since the beginning of the conflict, following the collapse of the ceasefire and the Russia-US peace deal. Vid
