BEIRUT, Dhu-AlQa'dah 3, 1437, Aug 6, 2016, SPA -- The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday that Syrian rebels fighting government forces had linked up with fighters from besieged eastern Aleppo, breaking a month-long siege, Reuters reported. But it said no secure corridor had yet been established between the two rebel-held territories. The Observatory and a witness said heavy fighting and air strikes were continuing in the Ramousah area of southwestern Aleppo, home to a major government military base, where the siege was breached after a rebel offensive that began this week. -- SPA 19:43 LOCAL TIME 16:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
