According to Russia’s Interfax news agency, the airstrike targeted “a warehouse of rebel drones that were targeting positions of Syrian government troops.”
The Russian Air Force launched strikes against a warehouse where drones were kept in Syria’s Idlib province, the Russian Interfax news agency reported Sunday, citing Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy director of the Russian reconciliation center in Syria.
The airstrike targeted “a warehouse of rebel drones that were targeting positions of Syrian government troops,” Rear Admiral Kulit explained, according to the agency.
No details were given on the extent of the damage, nor if there were any casualties.
The Syrian army blames rebel groups – which it says are jihadists – for attacks on government positions in Idlib and Aleppo provinces. It denies that it indiscriminately bombards areas where displaced persons live under the control of anti-regime forces.
Syrian opposition figures say Damascus and Moscow are taking advantage of the world’s attention turning to the Israel/Hamas war in the Gaza Strip and are escalating a crackdown on areas home to more than 3 million people, many displaced from other Syrian regions, which refuse to submit to the authoritarian government of President Bashar al-Assad.
