IDLIB, Syria (north Press) – On Sunday, Russian warplanes bombed the sites of Turkish-backed opposition factions south of Idlib, northwest Syria. The vicinity of the town of Kafr Shalaya in the Zawiya Mountain, south of Idlib, was hit with three Russian airstrikes, opposition military sources told North Press. The opposition factions’ sites surrounding the town were also bombed by Russia, but no casualties were reported, the sources added. “The raids coincided with intense flight by Russian reconnaissance over the area,” the sources noted. In a related context, two people were wounded as a result of the Syrian government artillery shelling of the opposition sites in the vicinity of the town of Kansafra, south of Idlib, the sources said. On Saturday, a person was wounded of varying severity by artillery shelling carried out by the government forces on the opposition sites in the town of al-Wasata, west of Aleppo. Meanwhile, the government forces’ sites near the village of al-Shekh Aqeel in the western countryside of Aleppo were bombed with heavy artillery and missiles by al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations’ Room, according to the sources. After months of military escalation, the de-escalation zones in northwest Syria witnessed, over the last few days, relative calm between the two sides of the conflict. Reporting by Samir Awad |
