The Russian military on Sunday reported noticeable progress in the evacuation of civilians in the contested Syrian city of Aleppo, with over 900 civilians having peacefully left the rebel-held area in the eastern Aleppo the day before.
"Only in the past 24 hours, 903 civilians, including 119 children, have left the militant-held area of Jabal Badro," said the Russian Center for Syrian Reconciliation in a statement. "Eight militants gave up resistance and left the eastern part of the city using the corridors provided by Russia and the Syrian authorities."
