in my comfortable chair I wait to see who will seize the initiative now

(I have to repeat though

reportedly attacks in several other areas are ongoing)

I saw videos confirming anti-Government attacks in the two upper directions

(against "Zahra" (again ... Aug 14, 2016 https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...o-oped-no-politics.t6913/page-404#post-410251), and against
"al-Assad Military Academy" (the compound visible in middle-top part of the map in https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...o-oped-no-politics.t6913/page-462#post-421932)

don't know anything about the other two; if they were real attacks (not Twitter war :) this evening "Cassad" would start the on-line reporting about these, I guess

(plenty of pictures, videos inside), but cautious ...

I'll wait now (I guess within two days we will see if it fizzles out, or the inner perimeter is breached EDIT protecting New Aleppo District etc.)

Reports of a Syrian Army counter-assault in southwest Aleppo are false. Just shelling.

LOLOL it might be a good idea to say something to fanbois

(it's the usual circus in Twitter:
  1. downplay the attack by the other side (how it's doomed to fail etc.), next
  2. deny the gains of the other side (plus hint to the enemy being trapped etc.), next
  3. announce the counter-strike (or at least say it's imminent, as reinforcements arrived etc.), next
if 1.-3. didn't work, say something like the area has become enemy's Stalingrad ...
EDIT all sides do it ... sometimes interesting info appears even in fanboish Tweets though)

now I read, from several sides, about what would appear to be a major Government success today:
retaking "Minyan" from (marked below)

I scrambled this just to see the scale; the minimal distance between Government positions outside (currently under attack) and inside Aleppo is something like five kilometers (of urban terrain!):

... in short, this would mean anti-Government forces suffered a tactical loss IF CONFIRMED

EDIT
OK if nothing else, there has been a counter-strike (this time :) not the one as yesterday https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...o-oped-no-politics.t6913/page-463#post-422023); anyway, "miladvisor":

right now I can't see any current news from southwestern Aleppo, not even those requiring a willing suspension of disbelief ... common all fighters of Syria and all spin doctors! I'm in my comfortable chair, ready :)
