Moscow has said that Russian and Syrian warplanes have not conducted any air strikes on Aleppo for the last seven days and are upholding a moratorium on bombing.
“All flights by Russian and Syrian air forces have been completely halted in a 10-kilometre zone around Aleppo since October 18,” military official Sergei Rudskoi said.
“The moratorium on air strikes by Russian and Syrian planes around the city will be extended,” he added, without specifying a timeframe.
A so-called “humanitarian pause” declared by Damascus and Moscow ran out at 1600 GMT on Saturday, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported there were air strikes afterwards against the opposition-controlled district of Sheikh Saeed.
