SAR government forces, having launched an offensive, have broken through the first lines of defense of terrorist groups on the western outskirts of Aleppo and are moving towards the settlement of Khan Tuman, according to the Syrian state news agency SANA.
According to the agency, the army managed to destroy the defensive lines by using barrel and rocket artillery, launching an offensive in the west and southwest simultaneously.
The army also succeeded in destroying insurgent supply lines and firing positions in Leramun, Rashidin and several other settlements in the western suburb of Aleppo.
The military operation was launched in response to the daily bombardment of Aleppo residential areas by terrorists, which resulted in the death of dozens of civilians.
