Research center quarters shelled by militants in Aleppo

Two Syrian servicemen were killed and seven more were wounded in a shelling attack by militants at the Aleppo research center quarters, chief of the Russian Center for reconciliation of the conflicting sides Vladimir Savchenko said.

"Militants shelled the positions of Syrian government forces near the settlement of Jubb al-Zarur in the Latakia governorate twice during the day. Seven shelling attacks were reported at Aleppo’s northwestern residential quarters," he said, noting that as a result of shelling, two Syrian servicemen were killed and seven more were wounded.

Savchenko added that officers of the Russian reconciliation center held a working meeting with a representative of the committee on refugee affairs in Aleppo. "The sides specified the list of equipment that refugee centers need in order to prepare for the winter period," TASS cited him as saying.

The Russian reconciliation center continues to fulfill assigned tasks after the completion of the military campaign in Syria. The center’s officers regularly travel around the country's liberated areas to assess the humanitarian situation. The main efforts of the Russian military are now focused on providing assistance to refugees returning to their homes.
