Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air force carried out strikes against Syrian rebels in support of the country’s army, Russian news agencies reported on Saturday, amid an advance by forces opposing Syrian President Bashar al. -Assad.
The attacks in support of Assad, a close ally of Moscow, followed what was the boldest rebel attack in years in a civil war where the front lines have been virtually frozen since 2020.
The state-run Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Enemy Parties in Syria said the missile and bomb attacks targeted “militant concentrations, command posts, depots and artillery positions” in Aleppo and Idlib provinces.
The agency also reports that around 300 rebel fighters were killed in the attacks.
