Bashar al-Assad

Al Jazeera’s Obaida Hitto reports on explosions that rocked a Syrian army ammunition depot south of Aleppo, injuring at least four people. Exploding missiles and ammunition hampered rescue efforts, while authorities closed nearby roads.

Thousands of people cheered as they welcomed Syrian icon Assala Nasri back at a sold-out concert in Damascus. She spent more than 15 years in exile after publicly supporting the 2011 uprising against the government of Bashar al-Assad.
