Syria insurgents push their advance toward second-largest city Aleppo

New Indian Express  

BEIRUT: Thousands of Syrian insurgents pushed on with their advances on government-held areas in the country's northwest, reaching the outskirts of Syria's second-largest city Aleppo and wrestling control of several strategic towns and villages along the way, activists and fighters said Friday. Syria's state media said projectiles from insurgents landed in the student accommodations at Aleppo's university, killing four people, including two students. Syria's Armed Forces said the insurgents are violating a 2019 agreement that de-escalated fighting in the area, which has been the last remaining opposition stronghold for years. The insurgents reported that fighters have wrestled controlled of the Scientific Research Center neighborhood, on the western outskirts of Aleppo city.
