Syrian army has located a large workshop which the Jaish al-Fatah militant group used to manufacture chemical weapons from US-made components, media reported Saturday, citing a military source.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On December 23, Maj. Gen. Zaid Saleh, the head of Aleppo's security committee, told Sputnik that over 31,000 militants and members of their families had left eastern districts of Aleppo under the agreement with the Syrian government.

On December 16, the Russian Defense Ministry's center for Syrian reconciliation said that the Syrian army operation to liberate the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo was over, and that the Syrian government troops were eliminating separate hotbeds of militant resistance.
