Russia condemns terror attacks in Syria's Aleppo

Russia strongly condemned the terror attacks in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo on Wednesday, calling the attacks "unacceptable." "We reaffirm our strong condemnation to terrorism in any form and any manifestation, and stress it is absolutely unacceptable to use terror methods under any circumstance, including in domestic armed conflicts," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Russia hoped those who have masterminded these attacks be captured and punished, the ministry said, adding that supporting those perpetrators was also "immoral" and "unacceptable." Moreover, Moscow once again called on all sides in Syria to immediately stop violence and find a settlement to the conflict based on widely agreed resolutions of the UN Security Council and the Geneva communique, the ministry said. Two car bombs hit a main square in Aleppo, leaving at least 31 people dead and scores of others injured Wednesday morning. The latest chaos came amid the ongoing pitch battles in Aleppo between the Syrian troops and the armed rebels, who launched a "decisive" battle to win control over Aleppo, Syria's largest city and commercial hub, last week.
