(MENAFN) A "humanitarian pause" announced by Russia has formally come into effect in the Syrian city of Aleppo to allow civilians and rebels leave the city.
In detail, Moscow earlier said air strikes by Russia and Syria's government had been halted two days ahead of schedule.
It also extended the pause by three hours, and suggested it could prolong the measure further.
But a powerful jihadist group has refused to leave besieged rebel-held eastern areas of Aleppo.
