A building damaged during years of war in the northern city of Aleppo has collapsed, killing 11 people, Syrian regime media reported.

State news agency SANA said the five-story building collapsed early Saturday, killing most of those who were inside and only one person was rescued alive.

The report said the building is in the eastern Salahuddin neighborhood once held by rebels.

Aleppo had been divided for four years starting in the summer of 2012 between a regime-held west and an opposition-held east. In 2016, the Syrian army launched a months-long offensive that eventually brought the whole city under regime control.
