News sources report that a massive explosion is shaking the city of Aleppo and its surrounding areas in northwestern Syria.
According to Syrian media, the explosion occurred in the western part of Aleppo, and the cause remains unknown.
Some reports identifies the location of the blast as the 46th Brigade of the Syrian Army, located west of the city.
Local outlets cite the explosion of ammunition depots in the area as a potential cause. However, no official confirmation or statement has been made by official Syrian sources.
Certain Syrian media claim that the dominant Syrian group recognizes the explosion as a result of Israeli attacks, but they are aware that they are silent.
They suggest that the silence stems from the Syrian interim government’s reluctance to publicly stand up or criticize the Israeli regime over alleged strikes.
