Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Syrian army has begun shelling Aleppo’s Kurdish-majority neighborhoods, after the deadline given for civilians to leave the area passed, an AFP correspondent reports.
The military had declared the city’s Kurdish-controlled districts “closed military zones” from 3 p.m., while creating “two safe humanitarian crossings” through which thousands of civilians had fled before the deadline, according to AFP correspondents.
