Russia has said, it would extend a moratorium on air strikes on Syria’s Aleppo into a ninth day.The spokesman of the Defence Ministry said, Russian and Syrian planes had not even approached, let alone bombed, the devastated city since last Tuesday when Russia suspended air strikes ahead of a pause in hostilities.
A defense ministry official said, moratorium on air strikes was being extended without specifying for how long.
But the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes had resumed since the lull in fighting ended on Saturday, focusing on major front lines, including in the city’s southwest.
The US State Department urged Russia to use the newly announced pause in bombing to ensure the delivery of aid to besieged civilians.
