Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered a new humanitarian pause in Syria's Aleppo, urging "opposition fighters" to use it to leave the besieged eastern districts.
Russia's defence ministry said Putin ordered that the aid corridors - which Russia had opened earlier - also be open on Friday, for longer hours, from 9am to 7pm, along with two new exit routes for the fighters to leave eastern Aleppo.
The ministry announced Putin's new gesture in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement said the exits will be open on Friday for both civilians and "rebels" "in order to prevent a senseless loss of life".
It also said the opposition offensive on the Syrian government-held districts in western Aleppo that was launched last week had failed to break through the siege.
