Russian Air Force carries out first airstrike in Aleppo


The Russian Air Force has violently responded to the obstinate rebels after their refusal to leave their portion of the Castillo Highway in northern Aleppo.

According to a local field journalist in Aleppo city, the Russian Air Force carried out an airstrike over the rebel-controlled 46th Regiment Base after the latter opened fire on their ground forces and the Syrian Red Crescent Society.

This airstrike above the 46th Regiment Base is the first Russian attack in Aleppo City since Sunday.

The Russians will likely respond again in northern Aleppo if the rebels do not comply with the terms set forth in the nationwide ceasefire.

Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) returned to the Castillo Highway after the rebels attacked; however, their arrival is only temporarily, a source in Aleppo added.
