Aleppo remains a hot spot in Syria conflict. 3 Armenians have been injured from sniper fire in the Armenian-populated Nor Gyugh district of Aleppo. 

Yerkir Media TV reports that Syrian rebels are trying to enter Aleppo’s Nor Gyugh and Suleymaniye districts. Their earlier attempts to enter the districts had failed, with Assad’s forces pushing them back. Phone communication is cut off in Aleppo.

Syria's turmoil began with protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime in March 2011. It crossed an important threshold a year and a half later, when the International Red Cross formally declared it a civil war.

The casualty tallies continue to climb higher as fighting rages across the country. Tens of thousands are fleeing Syria, seeking sanctuary in refugee camps in neighboring countries.
