Al Jazeera's Ahmed Zeidan, reporting from Aleppo, said: "There has been heavy bombardment in different neighbourhoods in Aleppo: in Shaar, in Bab al-Nayrab and al-Sakhour. We have no information on casualties."

"We have witnessed fighter [jets] bombing heavily in these neighbourhoods," he said.
"The violence comes against the backdrop of the Free Syrian Army's capturing of different sections in Old Aleppo today."
