Terrorist attacks in Aleppo kills 20, injures 40

LATTAKIA, Jun. 08 (MNA) – Some 20 civilians were killed and 40 others were injured in mortar attacks on residential neighborhoods in Aleppo city in the last 24 hours, the Russian Center coordinating the cessation of hostilities agreement in the country said.

Terrorist groups have breached the cessation of hostilities agreement 643 times since it came into effect on 27 February 2016.

The center, based in Hmeimim, explained in a statement on Wednesday that terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra and the so-called "Ahrar al-Sham" shelled the two residential neighborhoods of al-Midan and al-Mouhafaza in Aleppo city with mortar rounds, leaving 20 people dead and 40 others injured.

A commercial center and housing and administrative buildings sustained damage in the attacks.

The cessation of hostilities agreement does not include Jabhat al-Nusra, ISIL and other groups listed by the UN as terrorist organizations.

Different field reports affirm that Turkey keeps providing terrorists in northern Aleppo with weapons and military support.

The Russian Coordination Center stated on Tuesday that it monitored a convoy of trucks loaded with weapons and munitions that crossed the Turkish borders and entered areas in Aleppo northeastern countryside where terrorists from ISIL are active.
