Over 20 killed, scores injured in al Nusra shelling of Aleppo

More than 20 civilians were killed and scores wounded when Jabhat al Nusra and Ahrar al Sham terrorist units once again shelled Aleppo’s residential areas, RT quoted the Russian center for reconciliation of opposing sides in Syria as saying on Wednesday.

Residential and administrative buildings in the Muhafaza and Meydan neighborhoods of Aleppo suffered the brunt of the terrorist onslaught , the Russian Center for Reconciliation added.

Some mortars targeted and destroyed a busy shopping area, killing dozens of people.

The Russian side also notes that terrorist fighters are “taking advantage” of the ceasefire regime and were able to infiltrate and take safe haven in the same neighborhoods of the city where the so-called “moderate opposition” is located. 

Because the so-called moderate opposition is not being targeted under the US-Russian brokered truce, the jihadists, the Center notes, were able to “regroup” and replenish arms and ammunition before commencing “active” fighting.
