Syrian Army enters key military base in southern Aleppo
The Syrian Armed Forces continued their counter-offensive against the Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) jihadists in southern Aleppo on Sunday, targeting the strategic Artillery Academy, Al-Ramouseh Roundabout, and 1070 Al-Hamdaniyah Housing Project.
Led by the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) managed to seize the Al-Ramouseh Roundabout and Bridge earlier today after a fierce battle with the jihadist rebels that lasted for only a few hours.
Following the capture of the Al-Ramouseh Bridge and Roundabout, the Tiger Forces and their allies stormed the Aleppo Artillery Academy, striking this imperative military installation from its northern wing.
According to a military source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Syrian Armed Forces managed to infiltrate Jaysh Al-Fateh's front-line defenses and enter the Artillery Academy after a grueling battle this afternoon.
The Syrian Armed Forces are still attacking the Artillery Academy after capturing a few points inside; however, they have dissipated the intensity of their assault in favor of the Russian airstrikes that are currently pounding the jihadist rebels in southern Aleppo.
