Strikes in Al Bab as Struggle for Control of Aleppo Continues

The Syrian government continued its campaign to reclaim territory in and around Aleppo on February 9 and 10, as the control of the critical northeastern province remained contested between the regime, rebel groups and the Islamic State, who have recently partially retreated. Activist and media groups reported heavy attacks by pro-regime forces in several towns in Aleppo included, Al Bab.

Footage published by activists showing significant destruction is described as the aftermath of regime shelling. The Al Bab Civil Defense Unit reported that at least three people were killed and dozens more injured, including children. Credit: Civil Defense Unit – Al Bab
