Clashes began in the western part of Aleppo province early Wednesday morning and continued throughout the day.
Armed groups, which yesterday took control of 32 villages and checkpoints in western Aleppo, today captured ten more villages.
Anti-regime groups, which came within three kilometers of the center of Aleppo city and took control of an area of 320 square kilometers, also attacked the Aleppo Neyrap military airport this morning with drones and destroyed a helicopter.
