Militants of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization keep firing mortar shells at a Kurdish neighborhood of "Sheikh Maqsood" in Syria’s Aleppo, a representative for Russia’s center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria said on Friday.

"Mortar shellings of a Kurdish neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsood in the northern part of Aleppo by the Jabhat al-Nusra gunmen have not ended. Terrorists are opening fire on the streets of the district from an area of the Kastello shopping center earlier held by the moderate opposition forces," Itar Tass news agency quoted the representative as saying.

The shellings target both the positions of government forces and the Kurdish militias, and the residential houses of civilians, he added.
