Syrian army soldiers liberate the key town of Khan Tuman in Aleppo

Syrian army forces are in full control of a strategic town in the country’s northwestern province of Aleppo following an intense military operation against foreign-sponsored terrorist militants.

Syria’s Arabic-language al-Masdar news agency, citing an unnamed military official from Division 30 of the Republican Guard, reported that government troops liberated Khan Tuman on Wednesday afternoon after fierce skirmishes with members of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, commonly referred to as Tahrir al-Sham, the terrorist group.

The source added that that the development came after Syrian army troops had seized all hilltops east of the town earlier in the day.
