Russian warplanes target Turkish-backed factions in Syria’s Idlib, Latakia countryside
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – Russian warplanes bombed posts of Turkish-backed Syrian armed factions in the countryside of both Idlib and Latakia, northwest Syria, Thursday.
Russian warplanes targeted Kabani hills in Jabal al-Akrad region in the northern countryside of Latakia with three airstrikes using concussion missiles, military sources of the factions told North Press.
The warplanes also targeted the factions’ fortifications on the outskirts of al-Fatira town and the area between the towns of Kansafra and Ain La Rose near frontlines, south Idlib, according to the sources.
As a result of the shelling that reached forest and lands surrounding the towns of al-Fatira and Kansafra, some trees were uprooted and burnt.
Meanwhile, Damascus government forces shelled posts of the factions in the town of al-Zeyarah, west of Hama, and Kabani Hills, north of Latakia, with artillery shells reporting no human casualties, the same sources added.
The government shelling coincided with intensive flight of Russian drones over the area.
