Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, in yet another broadside against Syria, meanwhile, said President Bashar al-Assad should be replaced by Vice President Faruq al-Shara, whom he said "is a man of reason."
An AFP correspondent in Aleppo said warplanes were overflying the rebel-held Bab al-Hadid and Shaar neighbourhoods, where witnesses said fierce fighting had erupted.
"This is the worst fighting we've seen here since the beginning of the Aleppo war," a Bab al-Hadid resident in his mid-20s told AFP.
"From early morning ... there has been shelling on the area and clashes between the rebels in Bab al-Hadid and the army at the beginning of Arkoub district," which is located near the Hanano barracks.
"It looks like the army is trying to push the rebels as far as it can from the Hanano (military) barracks," the resident said, asking not to be named.
The military in July launched what it vowed would be the "mother of all battles" against rebels who had taken up positions inside Aleppo, Syria's commercial capital.
But the opposition has managed to keep regime troops at bay in a number of neighbourhoods while securing territory north of the city right up to the Turkish border.
As the fighting raged in Aleppo, Syrian state television said that government forces had pushed rebels out of two of their strongholds in Damascus province, Qudsaya and Hameh, where a watchdog said the bodies of 10 men were found. "Hameh and Qudsaya in Damascus province have been cleansed from the armed terrorists," the television said, using the regime's blanket term for the rebels.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that the government had taken control of Hameh and said the bodies of 10 men, at least one of them a rebel fighter, were found in the town.
On July 18, rebels carried out a massive bombing in Damascus, killing Assad's brother-in-law, the defence minister and a general.
Since then, regime forces have pushed the rebels to the outskirts of the capital but have lost control of several border crossings and are battling to fully retake Aleppo.
The Observatory also reported that regime forces on Sunday pounded the town of Tal-Abyad in the northern province of Raqa, which sits on the border with Turkey and is held by the rebels.
