Residents in al-Atareb city in Aleppo western countryside burned on Sunday car tires in order to block vision of Assad and Russian jet fighters which are targeting the city on a daily basis, killing and injuring dozens of civilians.

Burning tires comes in a series of similar activities performed in Aleppo western countryside and Idlib northern countryside in order to disorient warplanes and block vision, coinciding with opposition fighters’ launching of a battle to break Aleppo’s siege.

“We started burning tires trying to fend off warplanes from our city’s sky because of the recent vicious attack that Assad and Russian warplanes have been launching for the last fifteen days,” one of al-Atareb’s residents told SMART News Agency (SNA).

“Many massacres happened in the city. The first was in the marketplace, and the second in the Industrial Area,” another resident from the city told SNA.
