Russia's fighter jets on Sunday have raided rebel-held areas in northern Idlib region and the Kabanah hills in coastal Latakia province.
Three Russian warplanes, which took off from the Hmeimim air base, have targeted with high-explosive missiles the Al-Barnas area near Jisr Al-Shughour town and the Al-Kabanah hills
The bombing came in retaliation to rebel shelling that left 3 forces dead on Saturday in the Al-Kabanah hills in Latakia countryside.
In the Syrian desert, the Russian army has also expanded its military operations.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that more than 180 raids were carried out by Russian fighter jets within two days.
The war monitor stated that the raids are aimed at curbing activities by the ISIS group that enjoys wide presence in the desert (Badia).
The Observatory has documented the killing of at least 1,423 regime soldiers and loyalists from Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities, including at least two Russians, and 149 Iranian-backed militiamen of non-Syrian nationalities, since March 2019.
A Russian military spokesman in Syria said the regime and Russian forces have eliminated more than 300 'terrorists' since April 23.
Meanwhile, Russian military data revealed that rebel drone attacks on the Hmeimim airbase or the areas surrounding Idlib have dropped. Zaman al-Wasl, Agencies
