According to a late Sunday report by Russia’s Interfax, which quoted the deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Centre for Syria, Russian forces have struck targets in the Idlib governorate of Syria with air strikes, killing 34 fighters and wounding over 60 others.
Russian forces kill fighters: Interax quoted Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit stating, “The Russian Aerospace Forces carried out air strikes in the province of Idlib on targets of illegal armed groups involved in shelling the positions of Syrian government troops” regarding the Saturday raid.
According to Kulit, there were seven attacks on Syrian government troops’ positions in a single day.
The Russian report could not be independently verified by Reuters.
Additionally, The Syrian army denies indiscriminately shelling civilian areas under rebel control and accuses rebels, whom it claims are militants, of carrying out attacks on government-held regions in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib.
Furthermore, Officials from the opposition claim that Moscow and Damascus are intensifying their bombardment of an area where over three million people refuse to live under the autocratic authority of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by capitalising on the international community’s focus on the Gaza crisis.
Additionally, Kulit restated Russia’s repeated charges that the US-led coalition had violated Syrian airspace by flying drones and jets without proper coordination with Moscow.
The US has launched two airstrikes against Syrian groups that support Iran, a source earlier told Reuters.
