DHAKA: Syrian troops shelled rebel bastions in Aleppo and fought them on the streets of the northern city, while 10 bodies were found after the army routed insurgents from a town near Damascus, a watchdog said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported that regime forces on Sunday pounded the town of Tal-Abyad in the northern province of Raqa, which sits on the border with Turkey and is held by the rebels.
Turkey had on Friday shelled a Syrian military position south of Tal- Abyad in retaliation after a Syrian shell landed on its territory near the border.
That followed heavy bombardments of Syrian military positions near the border since Wednesday, when a shell smashed into a Turkish town killing five civilians and sparking outrage in Ankara and a UN Security Council condemnation.
Sunday’s bombardments in Aleppo, where fighting has raged since mid-July, targeted the embattled district of Sakhur in the east and Kalasseh in the southwest, the Britain-based Observatory said, reports daily Hurriyet.
Fierce battles broke out between troops in rebels in Sakhur, further east in Hanano and in the central district of Midan, the watchdog added.
