"People are
leaving through humanitarian corridors in a continuous flow into
the part of the city that is controlled by the Syrian
government," Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said,
according to Interfax. "A large part of Aleppo - 93 percent - is
today controlled by the Syrian government."
Konashenkov added that after the removal of civilians was
completed, Syrian government forces would continue to "liberate"
eastern Aleppo.
