According to a military report, the Russian Aerospace Forces have already launched more than 40 airstrikes on Tuesday, hitting several trenches and dens that belong to the Islamic State affiliated Jaish Khaled bin Walid forces.

The report specified that the Russian Aerospace Forces struck the Islamic State’s positions in the northeastern and northwestern corridors of the Yarmouk Basin region.

While the Russian Aerospace Forces attack from above, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has been advancing on the ground.

Since 9:00 A.M. (local time), the Syrian Arab Army has been heavily attacking the Islamic State’s defenses in a bid to break through the terrorist group’s defenses.

The Syrian Army has already captured a number of areas as a result of these Russian airstrikes, a source told al-Masdar News this afternoon.
