Syrian MoD: Army Captures 16km of Aleppo-al-Bab Highway
Local Editor
Among the latest field achievements, the Syrian army was able to retake some 16 kilometers of the Aleppo-al-Bab highway, the Ministry of Defense reported.
The army units also stormed the most sophisticated fortifications of the terrorist groups in the area, inflicting heavy losses among their members and munitions, the ministry added.
Northern Syria is one of the most complicated battlefields of the multi-sided Syrian war, with Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the Takfiri ‘ISIS/ISIL' group] now being fought there by the Syrian army, Turkey and its militant allies, and an alliance of US-backed Syrian militias.
In less than two weeks, Syrian army units have moved to within 6 km of al-Bab, a city that is also being targeted in a campaign waged by the Turkish military and its allies, groups fighting under the ‘Free Syrian Army' banner.
A source in the alliance fighting in support of the Syrian army told Reuters on Wednesday they aimed to reach al-Bab and was ready "to clash with the FSA fighting" alongside the Turkish army if necessary.
In the same respect, Russia has carried out air strikes targeting Daesh in the al-Bab area in support of both sides, underlining big shifts in the diplomatic landscape.
