INSURGENTS in Syria’s east Aleppo shelled humanitarian corridors during yesterday’s 10-hour truce, injuring two Russian soldiers and a journalist.

The Russian Defence Ministry said mortar rounds hit the north-western route out of the occupied east of the city.

The two soldiers, who were reportedly abiding the Russian-proposed humanitarian pause, were evacuated and treated for their injuries which were not life-threatening.
