The situation was extremely tense in Aleppo's Nor Kyugh Armenian
neighborhood on Friday, as the insurgent groups launched fresh bomb
and missile attacks against civilians.
Different streets of the district were selected as targets of the
violence. An explosion of over 22 makeshift missiles made of gas
balloons left 22 people dead and some 77 injured, the
Aleppo-basedGandzasar weekly said in a Facebook post.
The local media have called upon the Armenians of Nor Kyugh not to
leave their homes unless strictly necessary and keep off their
balconies and windows.
The blast have also caused serious material damage, leveling down many
residential constructions.
No Armenians are reported to be among the deceased or injured.
The war operations in Syria claimed an estimated 130-180 lives in the
past three years. The number of ethnic Armenian victims tops 100.
