The Syrian army achieved significant success in its offensive in the Masaken Hanano district, an important stronghold of insurgents in eastern Aleppo, liberating more than 80% of the region, a source told Al Watan newspaper.
"Following fierce clashes, which continued even during the night, the army retook more than 80% of the territory of Masaken Hanano. An offensive in several other regions of the city was undertaken simultaneously, leading to militants, unable to create new defense lines, fleeing," Sputnik cited a source as saying.
