Washington Post: Syria suspends fire in Aleppo to allow evacuation, Russia says
PARIS — Russia said late Thursday that the Syrian military has suspended its combat operations in eastern Aleppo to allow civilians to leave the city and that it had reached agreement with the United States to negotiate the safe departure of rebel fighters.
A senior U.S. State Department official here traveling with Secretary of State John F. Kerry said they could not yet confirm either of those assertions but that Kerry was in continuing contact with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
There were conflicting reports from inside Aleppo, where some residents reported a sudden quiet but others said neighborhoods were still under fire. On Wednesday, up to 150 elderly residents of Aleppo’s Old City were evacuated by the government in a joint operation with the International Red Cross.
