The attacking radicals, according to the military body, suffered dozens of casualties and heavy losses in military equipment.

During the offensive, the soldiers shot down several drones that tried to attack military points and localities under government control.

In another statement, the Ministry of Defense announced that the Armed Forces, with the support of Russian aviation, attacked and destroyed terrorist headquarters and fortifications in the northern countryside of Latakia province, bordering Idlib.

In the offensive, dozens of terrorists were eliminated, including ringleaders of the so-called radical group “Turkestan Islamic Party”.

On the other hand, aerial bombardments targeted a surveillance center containing spying devices in the forest area of Al-Basil, west of the city of Idlib.

Syria faces a war imposed since 2011 and although its army, with the support of its allies of Russia and Iran, liberated most of the national territory from radicals, some attacks occur that Damascus attributes to groups supported from abroad to continue destabilizing the country.
