MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Putin said during an annual Q&A session that in Aleppo, Jabhat al-Nusra and Daesh terrorists, outlawed in Russia, are trying to take over Kurdish positions.
"In the north-west of Aleppo, Nusra Front militants attempted to launch an offensive on positions of government forces in Sheikh Maqsood on April 13 after performing artillery strikes with multiple launch rocket systems," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website.
"Six civilians were killed and 12 received wounds of different severity as a result of the shelling," the bulletin said.
