Intense fighting has erupted in Aleppo, particularly in the New Aleppo district, as the Syrian national army loses control to the rebel Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) forces. The SSG has also captured urban areas like Khalsa and Al-Rashidin, while Russian and Syrian air forces retaliated with bombings in Idlib. Reports indicate significant casualties, including Russian soldiers. The conflict has escalated, breaching a five-year truce, and Turkish-supported forces have gained ground on the M5 highway. Key Iranian and Russian military leaders are concerned about the potential loss of Aleppo, which would be detrimental to their interests. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
