Russian Defense Ministry: Aleppo humanitarian pause extended for 24 hours

Moscow, SANA-Russian Defense Ministry announced that the humanitarian pause in Aleppo was extended for another 24 hours.

According to RT website, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that the humanitarian pause in Aleppo which came into force at 8:00 am on Thursday will be extended for another 24 hours, adding that extending the pause came after the Syrian Arab Republic endorsed it.

At 08:00 am on Thursday morning, a humanitarian pause started to evacuate civilians from the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo as eight humanitarian corridors were opened to evacuate the citizens.

Two among the corridors are for the gunmen, one of which leads to the Syrian-Turkish border while the other is from Sowq al-Hai to Idleb.

Helicopters of the Syrian Army threw today hundreds of thousands of publications on the eastern neighborhoods showing the locations of the humanitarian corridors for the exit of civilians, calling upon those involved in carrying up weapons to seize the opportunity and have their legal files settled.
