Rebel forces in Syria have taken control of the “majority” of the country’s second-largest city, Aleppo, according to the UK-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).<\/p>\n
Russia launched air strikes in parts of Aleppo overnight into Saturday for the first time since 2016, the observers added.<\/p>\n
SOHR said more than 300 people – including more than 20 civilians – have been killed since the offensive started on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The offensive is the largest against the Syrian government in years and the first time rebels fighting the forces of President Bashar al-Assad have reached Aleppo since being forced out by the army in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Syria’s military confirmed on Saturday that rebels had entered “large parts” of the city and dozens of soldiers had been killed or injured in the fighting.<\/p>\n
