Syrian army says it will renew Aleppo attacks after Kurds reject ceasefire terms

Military opens window for civilians to leave as Kurdish groups turn down demand their fighters withdraw from city

Syria's army says it will renew attacks against a Kurdish-majority district of Aleppo where clashes have raged this week, after Kurdish groups rejected Damascus's ceasefire terms that demanded their fighters withdraw from the city.

The army said it would target military sites used by Kurdish fighters in the Sheikh Maqsoud district, announcing the opening of a humanitarian corridor from 4pm (1300 GMT) to 6pm on Friday for civilians to leave.
