The Syrian armed forces have managed to wrest control of more than 90 percent of the Mallah farms near the northwestern city of Aleppo, says a report.

The recapture of almost all of the farms, situated on the northeastern edge of Aleppo, came on Tuesday, the Lebanon-based al-Mayadeen television channel reported.

The gains enable the Syrian troops to fire upon and close the Castello road that links militant-held parts of Aleppo with the rest of the crisis-hit Arab country.
