Syria, 24 Martha: a new attack on the air base "Hmeymim"

The situation in Syria remains tense. 24 March militants one of the terrorist groups carried out the attack with the help of a drone on the Russian air base "Hmeymim".

This is far from the first such attack on a military facility., used by the Russian Aerospace Forces. As before, the terrorists used an unmanned aerial vehicle to attack. However, the air defense systems managed to neutralize the terrorist attack.. According to some reports, the drone was destroyed.

Following the attack on the Khmeimim airbase, militants launched sorties on the border of the provinces of Hama and Latakia. In response, the artillery of the Syrian Arab army had to open fire on the positions of the militants in the area of ​​the city of Kabana. known, that the fire was directed at the fortifications, occupied by members of the organization "Hayat Tahrir al-Sham" banned in Russia.

Artillery shelling took place in the province of Idlib. The fire was conducted in the area of ​​the settlements of Al-Bara, Al Fateira, Kansafra, Kafr-Uwayd, but no loss of personnel or equipment is reported. There were also shootings in the area of ​​the villages of Az-Ziyara and As-Sirmaniya.. known, that an elderly local resident was wounded during the shelling of Kurdish villages north of Aleppo by pro-Turkish militants. The explosion also occurred in one of the restaurants in Idlib itself.

Information about looting appeared on social networks, which the militants of the pro-Turkish group "Failak al-Majid". This group operates in the western part of Aleppo province.. Turkish authorities call her opposition to the ruling regime, but the locals are sure: oppositionists are commonplace bandits, who do not hesitate to rob and terrorize the local population. In its turn, the turkish military command turns a blind eye to the crimes of the controlled groups.

Explosions are also reported near the city of Abu Kemal in Deir ez-Zor province. As it appears, the explosions occurred as a result of the launch of rockets from the Badia Desert in the area, controlled by the Shiite militia, Allied Syrian Arab Army. In this way, militants of opposition groups could organize the shelling. Also in the province of Deir ez-Zor, missile strikes were carried out on the outskirts of the city of Hajin, where is the headquarters of the intelligence service of the Kurdish militia.

As for the situation on the M4 highway, then Turkey still promises to restore order in this territory, however, it is too early to talk about any success of the Turkish side. clear, that it is not at all in Ankara's interests to push back the pro-Turkish armed formations, which the Turkish leadership really needs to organize further provocations against the Syrian Arab army.

In the same time, Turkish military command assures, that in the near future will expand the patrol route on the M4 highway, which is carried out jointly with the military personnel of the Russian military police. Colonel of the Turkish army Ukay Sagir Oglu said, the main thing is to ensure safety along the patrol route.

At the same time, the Turkish army continues to work on expanding the number of checkpoints in the Idlib province.. Besides, it became known about the movement of the next Turkish convoy with military equipment in the area of ​​the Kyrykhan crossing. The Turkish command plans to deploy armored vehicles to further strengthen its troops in the region.

This circumstance, as we already reported, once again underlines the true intentions of Ankara - to remain in the Syrian province for an indefinite period. of course, for, to maintain a military presence in Idlib, the pacification of the Syrian province is not beneficial for the Turkish leadership.
