The Syrian and Russian Air Forces, in separate but coordinated combat flights, targeted the strongholds of al-Nusra Front and Jeish al-Fatah in Northern, Southern and Western Aleppo, inflicting major casualties on the militants.

The Russian fighter jets bombed heavily positions of al-Nusra and Jeish al-Fatah in al-Zarbeh, Khan Touman, al-Qarasi, al-Hamira, Me'arateh and ICARDA in Sothern Aleppo, which claimed the lives of several militants and destroyed their military hardware in large scale.

The Syrian fighter jets, for their part, struck the militants' centers in Anadan, Hraytan and Kafr Hamra in Northern Aleppo, which ended in the killing of several terrorists.

In the meantime, the militant positions in Kafr Dael West of Aleppo came under the heavy bombardments of the Syrian army aircraft.

The Syrian warplanes also hit the terrorist concentration centers hard in al-Yarmoun, al-Shaqif and Castello, which pinned down the militants' movements in the region.

The Syrian army's artillery and missile units also shelled the terrorist centers and positions in Bani Zeid, Castello, al-Mallah and al-Jandoun, which left scores of the militants dead or wounded.

The artillery units also shelled positions of al-Nusra and Jeish al-Fatah in al-Zarbeh, Khan Touman, al-Qarasi, al-Hamira, Me'arateh and ICARDA.

Reports said on Saturday that the Syrian Army troops and its allies stormed the strongholds of the terrorist groups in Southern Aleppo and forced the militants to withdraw from more territories.

The Syrian soldiers and their Iraqi and Lebanese allies engaged in tough battle with the terrorists of Jeish al-Fatah and pushed them back from the small town of al-Qaraseneh, which ended in the killing of at least 40 terrorists and wounding of many more.

The pro-government forces then started fortifying their positions in the town.

In the meantime, the Syrian army repelled the terrorist groups' attack to capture the town al-Khalseh and forced them to pull their forces back from the battlefield under the army's heavy fire.

The Syrian army and its allies also launched joint offensives to capture al-Qarasi from Jeish al-Fatah, FNA reported.
