At least 210 combatants died in a surge in violence around the second city of Aleppo this week, an activist group said Friday.
Among those killed from Sunday to Thursday were 82 army troops and pro-government militiamen, 94 members of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front and allied rebel groups, and 34 ISIS extremists, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The spike in violence, which has threatened to derail a shaky truce, has seen multiple fronts around Syria's second city flare up as a new round of peace talks got under way in Geneva.
The heaviest casualties came near Al-Eis in the south of Aleppo province where 50 government troops and loyalist militia fighters were killed along with 61 Al-Nusra and allied fighters, the Observatory said.
