Almost 200 troops and rebels were killed in an eight-day battle for a police academy in the north Syrian province of Aleppo, as insurgents seized control of most of the complex, a watchdog said on Sunday.
“Rebels have seized most of a police academy in Khan al-Assal in Aleppo province… after eight days of fighting that left 200 troops and rebels dead,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
