A spokesman for the Russian reconciliation center said on Thursday that terrorists from the al-Nusra Front terrorist group continue attacks on settlements in Syria's Aleppo region, including the city of Aleppo itself, Sputnik reported.
"The shelling is indiscriminate, targeting not only positions of government forces, but also residential areas. Some 54 civilians were killed and 93 wounded in these attacks," the reconciliation center said in a daily bulletin posted by the Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the center said that a group of at least 160 al-Nusra Front militants had crossed the border with Turkey in the north of Idlib province and were heading for the Aleppo area to reinforce terrorists fighting there.
