“The Syrian army completely controls the city of Sarakib and surrounds three Turkish observation posts,” the source said.

In late January, the SAR army launched an offensive in the west of Aleppo due to daily bombardment by terrorists of residential areas of the city, which led to the deaths of dozens of civilians.

On January 27, the Syrian military managed to break through the first lines of terrorist defense in the west of Aleppo.

On January 29, the General Staff of the Syrian army announced the liberation of the city of Maaret Nuuman, which has been held by militants since 2012.
