It is worth noting that there have been several reports over the last month that have claimed the Russian Special Forces carried out a mission behind enemy lines.
One such operation was reported in early August near the northern Hama town of al-Latamnah. According to the reports, the Russian Special Forces snuck behind enemy lines and ambushed a group of fighters from Liwaa Suqour al-Sham.
That same week, another report surfaced that alleged the Russian Special Forces had killed several foreign jihadists behind enemy lines in the al-Ghaab Plain. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented on these alleged operations.
