Earlier on Thursday, SANA correspondent in Aleppo said that a number of large vehicles and ambulances are present in a specific place in al-Ramouseh corridor south of Aleppo to move out the terrorists and their families of the neighborhoods of Salahuddin, al- Ansari, al-Mashhad and al-Zebdieh in the eastern part of the city towards Aleppo southwestern countryside.
Sounds of strong explosions were heard from the areas where terrorists are positioned caused by the terrorists’ detonation of their main positions and depots of weapons and ammunition, SANA delegate said, adding that columns of thick smoke rise as terrorists burnt their documents and positions which uncover the sources of their funding and providing them with weapons, money and intelligence information.
Takfiri terrorist groups, mostly linked to al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and Nureddin al-Zinki terrorist organizations, had been present in the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo city, committing tens of massacres against the locals and using tens of thousands of civilians in these areas as human shields.
Over the past few weeks, Syrian army units secured the exit of thousands of families from dangerous areas in Aleppo via humanitarian corridors set up in coordination between Aleppo governorate and the Russian side.
