The Syrian army has launched new strikes on Kurdish-held areas in Aleppo after Kurdish fighters refused to withdraw under a ceasefire, as more civilians fled their homes to escape the violence in the northern Syrian city.
The Operations Command of the Syrian Arab Army announced the start of a military operation in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighbourhood of Aleppo on Friday evening after a deadline for Kurdish fighters to evacuate the area, imposed as part of its temporary ceasefire, expired.
