Aid could enter rebel-held parts of Syria's Aleppo
None
BEIRUT -- A Syrian activist says Russian troops have deployed along a main road leading into besieged rebel-held neighborhoods of the northern city of Aleppo ahead of the possible arrival of aid convoys.
Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the Syrian government forces that were stationed there have been replaced by Russian troops. He says aid is expected to enter rebel-held Aleppo later Friday.
Aleppo-based activist Bahaa al-Halaby denies that government troops withdrew from Castello road.
