The Syrian army says dozens of its soldiers were killed in a major attack by rebel forces who swept into the country's second-largest city, Aleppo. The offensive is being seen as a major challenge to President Bashar al-Assad. Assad has vowed to defeat terrorists during separate phone talks with leaders from the United Arab Emirates and Iraq on recent developments in Syria.
