A local militia's member told RIA Novosti that terrorists used chemical weapons during attacks in Syria's Aleppo.Terrorists attacked Syrian army's positions in Aleppo's south-west
using rockets with poisonous gas, the militia source told RIA Novosti.
"Militants fired self-made rockets with poisonous gas at us and the
[Syrian] military near the Al-Asad [military] academy. It is difficult
to say which particular chemical was used," the source said.
Al-Nusra Front terrorists and some Syrian rebel groups launched an
offensive in Aleppo's south-west on Friday. For three days, terrorists
have been attacking Syrian army's units. Two attacks have been so far
repelled; Syrian government forces managed to retake their positions in
the 1070 district overnight.
Militants have also been shelling residential areas in western and
central parts of Aleppo since Friday. According to medical workers, at
least 15 people were killed and 150 wounded.
On Saturday, militants in Aleppo carried out attacks on the Al-Asad
military academy and Bustan az-Zakhra district. Heavy fighting
continues near the academy with armored vehicles' detonation and suicide
bombers' attacks as part of the terrorists' offensive.
According to Syrian military intelligence data, during a few days of the
humanitarian pause in Aleppo, militants have redeployed some 8,000
fighters to the city's south and north. If terrorists gain control over
the Al-Asad military academy, the whole western part of Aleppo will be
under threat of militants' fire.
