Russian forces withdraw from base in northern Hama after jihadist attack
2019-06-08
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian troops have withdrawn from their base in Tal Salba this evening after the jihadist rebels launched several artillery shells towards their positions.

According to a report from the front, the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
began hammering the Russian base at Tal Salba in northern Hama after seizing several sites from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).

The Russian Air Force has responded to these attacks by launching heavy Arclight airstrikes over the Hama-Idlib axis; this has temporarily halted the jihadist shelling on the Tal Salba area.

The Russian military has a large presence inside the towns of Mhardeh and al-Sqaylabiyeh; it is very unlikely that they will be withdrawing from these government strongholds, as thousands of civilians live there.
