Backed by Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Armed Forces captured the entire Suleiman Al Halabi District and more than half of the Bustan Al Basha District, leaving the rebels with their backs against the wall at nearby Sakhour.

Making matters worse for the terrorist rebels in east Aleppo, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) imposed fire-control over Halab Hill, which is located at the southwestern perimeter of Al Bureijj.

West of Al-Bureijj, the Syrian Armed Forces captured 50 percent of Al-Oweija after breaking through Nouriddeen Al Zinki's first line of defense at the western axis of this district, AMN reports.
