The Britain-based Observatory said at least 130 civilians have been killed since the opposition alliance launched its offensive on southern Aleppo on July 31. But the road, which passes through southern edges of the city, remains too dangerous for civilians to use, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday. BEIRUT - Sporadic clashes hit the southern edges of Aleppo on Sunday morning, a monitoring group said, hours after rebels said they had broken a three-week government siege of the Syrian city. Syrian state media, however, denied that the siege had been broken and said the fight was ongoing. "The Syrian army in coordination with allied forces are continuing their fight south of Aleppo," it said.
