Fresh militant attacks in Aleppo and its outskirts have targeted the city’s Christian population including Armenians, over the past days.

The militants have advanced particularly to the northern and western neighborhoods, keeping civilians under fire.

Different other districts in Syria’s economic capital face continuing missile attacks.

The Armenian-populated district Aiziziye has been hit by missiles together with other Christian neighborhoods.

Missiles charged with gas balloons have been fired against a central district where many Armenians own shops and salons. One missile hit the premises of an ethnic Armenian craftsman but fortunately didn’t explode.

Missile attacks have also targeted other districts, leaving eight killed and some 36 injured.

The armed violence also caused material losses, damaging apartments and cars. The city’s population is reported to have been in intimidation and horror.

Tensions were also reported on Monday. Many were killed and wounded in missile attacks in the district Syrian al-Adim.

The Syrian Army had earlier cordoned off Aleppo, encircling the rebels groups based in the city.
