According to the reports on Wednesday (9 October), Russia’s aerospace forces have conducted airstrikes on two terrorist bases in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor and Homs governorates, according to Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria. These strikes targeted militants who had relocated from the US-controlled al-Tanf area. The airstrikes are part of ongoing efforts by Russia and Syria to combat insurgent groups operating in the region.
Russian-Syrian cooperation involves continuous reconnaissance and rescue operations across desert and mountainous areas in Homs and Deir ez-Zor. The coordinated efforts aim to neutralize militant groups and secure these volatile regions. Russian military officials emphasized the importance of these missions in restoring stability.
Russian forces remain heavily involved in Syria’s military operations, assisting the Syrian government in fighting rebel groups and militants. The airstrikes mark a continuation of Russia’s active role in Syria’s ongoing conflict. These operations are critical in targeting militants who pose a threat to the security of the region.
The presence of militants in areas controlled by foreign powers, such as the US, complicates the conflict. However, Russian forces maintain their commitment to supporting the Syrian army in their fight against terrorism, particularly in strategic areas like Deir ez-Zor and Homs. This cooperation is essential in addressing long-standing security challenges in Syria.
