The Russian Air Force has conducted a series of airstrikes targeting underground hideouts, observation points, and positions held by armed groups in Syria, reportedly in response to attacks on Syrian government forces.
Vadim Kolet, Deputy Head of the Russian Reconciliation Center, announced in a press conference held on Saturday that the airstrikes were carried out in retaliation to the shelling of Syrian government forces’ positions by militants. The targeted areas include regions within the Latakia and Idlib provinces, known hotspots for militant activity.
The Russian military’s precision airstrikes aimed at depleting the resources and capabilities of the militant groups. By targeting underground bunkers and observation posts, the Russian Air Force has disrupted the militants’ operations and diminished their ability to launch further attacks.
Russia has been actively involved in the Syrian conflict, supporting President Bashar al-Assad’s regime against various militant and opposition groups since 2015. The recent airstrikes underscore Russia’s commitment to aiding the Syrian government in its ongoing battle against insurgency.
The Russian Air Force’s strategic airstrikes in Syria represent a continuation of Russia’s efforts to bolster the Syrian government and eliminate militant threats. By disrupting the militants’ infrastructure, Russia aims to facilitate a swifter resolution to the conflict and stabilize the region.
