IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, Russian warplanes launched air strikes on sites of the Turkish-backed armed factions in the Zawiya Mountain amid renewed mutual shelling between the armed factions and the government forces in the southern countryside of Idlib, northwest Syria.
Russian warplanes targeted the armed factions’ positions in the villages and towns of Mashoun, al-Fatirah, Marian and Kansafra located in the Zawiya Mountain with high-explosive vacuum missiles and eight air strikes, military sources from the opposition told North Press.
The Russian air stikes coincided with mutual shelling between the Syrian government forces and armed factions in the countryside of Idlib and Hama, the sources added.
The government forces bombed the armed factions’ sites in the towns of Sufuhn, Ibleen, Ibdita, Marzaf and al-Bara with rocket launchers, amid intense flight of drones over the area.
