According to the source, the attack had inflicted damage on the district's infrastructure.

On Saturday, the Syrian army began an operation to liberate the last rebel stronghold in western Aleppo.

The Syrian Armed Forces began a large-scale military operation in Aleppo after the September 12 truce brokered by Russia and the United States collapsed less than a week after it was endorsed.
