Shelling and airstrikes reportedly resumed in Aleppo on Friday (23 December), a day after the last set of rebels left their remaining pocket of territory in the city. The attack by the rebels left six people, including two children killed, a monitoring group has said.

The Syrian Army announced retaking Aleppo on 22 December from rebel forces after a four-year battle, bringing the whole city under the complete control of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. It marked a major victory for the Russia-backed troops.
