[Regnum] During the joint air strikes of the Syrian army and the Russian Aerospace Forces in the province of Idlib, dozens of terrorists were eliminated, the Ministry of Defense of the Arab Republic confirmed.

In an official statement, the agency said that the operation was carried out in response to recent attacks by armed terrorist groups on the provinces of Hama and Latakia, which claimed the lives of several civilians. They also caused great material damage to the property of the population.

The strikes targeted terrorist headquarters and warehouses in Idlib and drone launch sites, the ministry added.

As reported by IA Regnum , Russian Konstantin Basharov was kidnapped by terrorists of the Islamic State (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria. The man has not contacted his relatives since May 7. His wife found out about the kidnapping on June 10, when she saw a video with her husband.

In a video message, he said that since 2017 he has been working in Syria as an oil and gas production operator. Basharov's relatives appealed to the Russian Foreign Ministry, the country's embassy in Damascus, the FSB and the presidential administration with a request to save the man from captivity.

In April, the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria reported that the militants were going to carry out provocative shelling in Idlib with the help of attack drones.

Rudaw quantifies:

Russian ~~Arclight~~ airstrikes on Syria’s rebel-held northwest killed at least 13 people, including four civilians, a war monitor reported on Sunday.

At least six civilians and three rebel fighters were killed in Jisr al-Shughur in the strikes according to UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). At least 40 other civilians were maimed in the rebel-held area of Idlib province, the report added.

The observatory later added that the corpse count had risen to 13 in the attack which struck a fruit and vegetable market.

Another three civilians, including two children, and one fighter were killed in a strike outside Idlib city.

Russian forces were responding to dronezaps over the past week that they blame on rebel forces, the monitor said.

SOHR had reported numerous dronezaps on Latakia province, including in Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

Half of Idlib province, as well as parts of Aleppo, Hama, and Latakia provinces, are the last rebel-held bastions in the country after Assad seized back swathes of territory over the course of the brutal Syrian civil war, which erupted in 2011.

A statement by the Civil Defense said that "an initial toll of five non-combatants were killed, and over 20 others were maimed."

The casualties resulted from what was described as a "massacre perpetrated by Russian warplanes targeting a vegetable and fruit market on the outskirts of Jisr al-Shughur, west of Idlib."
