Syria: Syrian Army recaptures key Babdin Square in northeast Aleppo

Footage from Aleppo shows fierce battles in the city's northeastern region, Wednesday, as the Syrian Arab Army continues to progress on rebel militant positions.
Syrian Army officials announced that government forces managed to recapture Babdin Square, killing several militants in the process.
Moscow announced on Tuesday that both Russian and Syrian air forces had halted airstrikes in the besieged city of Aleppo as parties plan for an eight hour ceasefire on Thursday. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that the humanitarian pause was to allow civilians to leave Aleppo and for aid to be delivered to the city. Militant fighters in eastern Aleppo will also be allowed to leave the city with their arms via two corridors in a bid to de-escalate the fighting in the city.
