Aleppo (Syria) (AFP) - Russian and Syrian warplanes pounded rebel-held areas of divided second city Aleppo on Saturday as government forces closed in on the rebels' sole remaining supply line, a monitoring group said.
An AFP correspondent in the rebel-held east of the city said the air strikes lasted throughout the night into the morning.
Aleppo, which was Syria's commercial and manufacturing hub before civil war broke out in 2011, has been a key battleground ever since rebels seized eastern neighbourhoods of the city the following year.
A two-day truce brokered by Moscow and Washington earlier this month in a bid to rescue a wider ceasefire expired without renewal and Russia warned it would press ahead with it air campaign, saying the rebels had failed to deliver on promises to break ranks with Al-Qaeda loyalists.

Russia will come out ahead with syria because of the obama hillary foreign policy ineptness in backing the islamic terrorists they support
Not only isn’t Obama fighting al Qaeda, he’s on their side. He was on their side in both Libya and Egypt as well as Syria.
In all due respect to Mr. Putin, I wouldn’t negotiate anything with Washington until we get a real CIC in there. The current Man Child-in-Chief and his Psychopath NeoCon cronies are hell bent on nuclear war, that will extend to these lower 48.
Best ceasefire ever!
The day is still young, but I think you win today’s prize!
True, Kurds are a different sort of terrorist.
Go Vlad!

I hope Hillary gets everything that’s coming to her, both in this life and after.
By getting rid of Qaddafi corrupt cackling Hillary caused the invasion of Europe by the raping flooding muslim male hordes,
It was well known that once he was gone this would happen and was a huge factor in Brexit, (something good come out of it at least)
She, that demonic Obama creature and stooge McCain have all been trying to effect the same Muslim Brotherhood installation ‘change’ in Syria, they have been adamant that Assad be taken down, and it would’ve already happened if not for Putin,
What their end game is beyond installing the MB everywhere I’m not sure, but we can bet that Israel an its continued peace and security and division of Judea and Samaria has been in their cross hairs the entire time,
I wouldn’t put it past stooge mccain to become hillarys running mate,
‘isis johnny’
He might have to get in line behind romney though,
