  (Zaman Al Wasl)- Five people, including four family members, were killed in Daraa province when regime warplanes hit the eastern and western countryside, activists said Saturday.

In a statement posted on the base official Facebook page, Russia said “our bombers carried out 340 raids during 5 days in that region which equals 30 days of aerial backup for palace guards’ units deployed in Deir ez-Zor and its military airport.”

The statement affirmed that Russia is refusing accusations talking about "shortening support by Russian air force for friendly forces south of Syria."
