Russian warplanes strike Turkish point in Syria’s Idlib
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, Russian warplanes raided a Turkish point in the southern countryside of Idlib, northwest Syria.
The Russian warplanes raided al-Bara town, south of Idlib, with high-explosive thermobaric weapons three times in a row, a military source from the opposition factions said.
Meanwhile, the Syrian government forces intensively shelled the opposition sites in the southern countryside of Idlib accompanied by flight of Russian and Iranian drones.
On Tuesday, the Syrian government forces resumed shelling the opposition strongholds in al-Bara, Qoqin, Sarjah, Kansafra and Benin areas situated in Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib.
The attack killed a person and wounded others in Qoqin town in the south of Idlib. All were transferred to medical points for treatments, the source added.
For its part, the al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room, that includes several factions, fired heavy artillery shells and missiles on government forces military sites in the 46th Regiment in the western countryside of Aleppo.
For months, areas in Syria’s northwest have been witnessing mutual shelling between parties to the conflict in different areas amid news on government military reinforcements to different areas in the region.
Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.
