Fighting breaks out in Aleppo as Syrian military calls on militants to evacuate

Syrian rebels and pro-government forces have clashed on several fronts around Aleppo as the country's military command called on militants to evacuate the city.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group reported fighting in areas close to al-Shuqeef hill and the Bustan al-Basha area as the government tries to penetrate the city's opposition-held eastern side.
