Russian Military: All Women, Children out of Militant-Controlled Aleppo Areas, Only Radicals Remain

All women and children have been evacuated from terror/militant-controlled parts of Eastern Aleppo, and only radicals now remain there and are firing at the Syrian army forces, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed.

“All women and children who were in militant-controlled districts have been evacuated, RT reported.

“The operation of the Russian Center for Reconciliation to evacuate militants and their families from the Eastern districts of Aleppo is now complete,” the center, with the aim to bring about peace between the warring parties in Syria, said in a statement.

It added that over 4,500 terror/militants have been evacuated along with their families, as well as 337 wounded.

A total of over 9,500 people have been moved out of the militant-held Eastern Aleppo since the operation was launched on Thursday.

The evacuees from the last convoy told authorities that everyone who wanted to leave the terror/militant-held area had done so.

“In some areas, there are still groups of militants from radical and irreconcilable gangs, who are firing at Syria troops,” the statement noted. It added that Syrian Army units are continuing the liberation of the terror/militant-held districts of the city.

According to the latest figures from the Russian Defense ministry, only 2 percent of Aleppo is still controlled by militants.
