Dozens of civilians of Aleppo died from the explosion of the Tactical Rocket "Earth-Earth", which government troops were released in a densely populated residential area. This was reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights based in London.
“When attacking the Bab -Narab area, 29 people were killed, including 19 children and four women,” the human rights activists say. It is reported that supporters of President Bashar al -Assad released a missile along the nearby base of the radical group "Islamic Emirat Iraq and Levant", but it exploded several dozen meters from the target. According to military analysts, the use of such types of weapons can demonstrate a lack of infantry in the Assad troops.
SOHR also reports that during the battles, 150 Syrian troops were killed in the vicinity of Aleppo Khan al-Assal. More than 50 of them were executed by radical Islamists after surrendering. The Iranian television channel Press TV claims that most of those who died in Khan al -Assal are civilians. It also reports that al-Qaeda supporters abused the bodies, and then threw it near the city.
On Friday, the head of the opposition coalition of Syria, Ahmad Jarb, announced his readiness for negotiations in Geneva on Syrian settlement and put forward a number of preliminary conditions. "The coalition is ready to take part in peaceful negotiations until they are based on the implementation of the Geneva Communistry and the formation of the transition government with the full executive branch, including the military sector and security services," Jarba said.
On Friday, it was reported that the UN and the Syria government consider the discussions held in Damascus with the participation of the head of international chemical wealthy Oka Cherestrom. He and the UN Commissioner for disarmament Angela were in Damascus at the invitation of the Syria government. They had to consider the possibility of conducting inspections in the Syrian territory to investigate the mutual accusations of the authorities and the opposition in the use of poisonous substances. "The discussions were exhaustive and productive and led to an agreement to move forward," the UN and the Syria government said in a brief message.
On July 9, the constant representative of Russia at the UN Vitaly Churkin accused the Syrian opposition of using chemical weapons, RIA Novosti reports. According to Churkin, on March 19, the rebels launched an uncontrollable shell of the Bashair-3 type on the city of Khan al-Asal controlled by government forces in the vicinity of Aleppo.
"The results of the analysis clearly show that the charge was non -industrial production and contains Zarin," the diplomat said.
In mid -June, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, announced unreliable reports of the use of chemical weapons by government troops. In support of such a statement, the minister noted that the dictator Bashar al -Assad has no reason to use poisonous substances. "Now the regime is not permitted to the wall - it is as oppositionists speak about this with might and main, won military successes on Earth. What is the point of applying chemical weapons, and in such small quantities? Only in order to be substituted?" - said Lavrov.
The Foreign Minister also reproached Western countries that they were not concerned when information appeared about the presence of chemical weapons among the rebels. Lavrov again entrusted the UN responsibility for disrupting the inspection in March of this year, when, in response to the Syrian request, the organization demanded to ensure full access to experts to any objects in Syria. “As we said more than once, all this was in line with the requirements put forward at one time to Iraq. Everyone knows what this led to,” the minister said.
According to the UN, the number of victims of the Civil War in Syria was 100 thousand people.
