Syria: Russian airstrikes destroy militant positions in Latakia

Russian airstrikes destroyed militant positions in the Latakia province, according to a statement by the Russian Ministry of Defence that accompanied the release of the footage on Thursday.
Russia’s Defence Ministry announced on Thursday that two influential terrorist field commanders were killed in Aleppo by Russia’s aviation group operating in Syria.
Spokesperson Major-General Igor Konashenkov stated that “the terrorists sustained significant losses” as a result of the Russian airstrikes, while emphasising that such strikes are carried out only after a thorough analysis of intelligence in order to eliminate risks to civilian lives.
The general stated that Russian planes hit 1,888 terrorist targets over the course of the last seven days in a total of 510 sorties.
Konashenkov said that “large-scale desertion is registered in illegal armed groups located near Aleppo” as “militants are making efforts to 'blend' into the crowd” by moving to Turkish territory.
