One civilian was killed and another wounded Thursday in intense artillery shelling by the regime forces and Iranian militias targeting the western countryside of Aleppo city.
The artillery shelling of the "46th Regiment" targeted the village of Blanta, near the town of Atareb, west of Aleppo.
According to Zaman al-Wasl reporter, the regime forces and Iranian militias also targeted several villages and towns in the western countryside of Aleppo, which located within the so-called "fourth de-escalation" between Idlib and Aleppo. No casualties were reprted.
