It has been reported that the Kurdish-controlled Sheikh Maqsoud district of Aleppo has been struck by a poisonous gas on Monday. This is the second attack on the suburb in the past week. 5 days ago, rebels also struck the district with chemical shells.

“There is heavy shelling on the neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsoud… The neighborhood was bombarded with missiles and bombs in the morning… The bombing is filled with poison gas. It happened today, in Aleppo,” a local activist called Mohamed said.

Although there were no reported deaths, Mohamed continued by claiming that two civilians and two YPG fighters were hospitalized.
