Aleppo offensive

A Syrian army helicopter fired machine gun rounds and troops shelled rebel positions in Aleppo yesterday, witnesses reported, as they tried to break through the insurgents' frontline in a battleground district in the country's largest city.

Earlier in the day, Syrian forces clashed with rebels around Aleppo's television and radio station, activists said, and a local rebel commander said his fighters were preparing for a "strong offensive" by government forces on the city.
