More than 400 Syrian civilians have fled rebel-held districts of eastern Aleppo for the government-controlled west as government forces advance in the city, activists said Sunday.
The civilians fled overnight to the Masaken Hanano district and were taken to government-controlled areas, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Syrian state media said government forces had Saturday captured Massaken Hanano, the largest rebel-held district of Aleppo, in what would be a major breakthrough in the government's offensive to retake the entire city.
