[Regnum] The Syrian government army has strengthened its defense line in the Homs province in the central part of the republic, the Syrian Defense Ministry reported on December 6. This is how the department responded to information that appeared that the troops had allegedly left the region. “The information published on terrorist resources about the withdrawal of the army from Homs does not correspond to reality,” the Defense Ministry noted in a statement on the social network Facebook (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation; it belongs to the Meta company, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation). As reported by Regnum News Agency, on December 5, the Syrian Defense Ministry denied information that armed anti-government groups had broken through to the city of Hama, the administrative center of the province of the same name. The Defense Ministry emphasized that the situation in the entire territory of the settlement is stable and safe. Militant groups in Syria launched an offensive against government army positions in the Aleppo region on November 27. The terrorists were able to capture 13 settlements. The Syrian army launched a counteroffensive against militants in Aleppo and Idlib on November 29. The press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the militants' offensive on the positions of the Syrian government troops is an encroachment on the sovereignty of that country. He specified that Russia is in favor of restoring constitutional order on Syrian territory. On December 1, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Damascus. The Syrian leader stressed that the republic's authorities continue to fight terrorism throughout its territory. The Iranian minister, in turn, confirmed Tehran's readiness to provide Damascus with various types of support to fight militants.
