Aleppo, Syria( CNN) Syrian regime forces-out have shelled rebel-held Aleppo for the past 24 hours straight, gaining more ground in a bloody bid to seize control of the whole city.
Airstrikes and mortar rounds have pounded rebel positions in eastern Aleppo nonstop, told CNN Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen on the ground, reducing more buildings to rubble in a city already decimated in parts.
Aleppo had been divided between the government-held west and rebel-held east for more than four years, but regime forces have gained control of around half of the eastern district in the eight days since they entered the area.
