The Syrian army has halted its attacks on Syria's Aleppo to allow for the evacuation of civilians, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday.
"I can tell you that today, combat operations by the Syrian army have been halted in eastern Aleppo because there is a large operation underway to evacuate civilians," he said in Munich, Germany, cited by Russian news agencies.
Syria's army battled to take more ground from terror/rebels in Aleppo after President Bashar al-Assad said victory for his troops in the city would be a turning point in the war.
Three weeks into a major offensive to retake all of Aleppo, government troops have captured about 85 percent of territory terror/rebels controlled in the city's east and were continuing to push forward.
