[Regnum] Russian and Syrian military personnel in the area of ​​the city of Idlib destroyed the headquarters of Jabhat al-Nusra (an organization whose activities are banned in Russia). This was announced at a briefing by the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (CPVS), Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit.
Well done, guys!
He clarified that in the destroyed headquarters were those who were directly involved in organizing and carrying out sabotage and terrorist attacks against the Syrian government forces and civilians.
Even better — lotsa bodies of bad guys is a very good thing, indeed. The only thing missing is a report of lots if secondaries lighting up the sky like the Fourth of July.
According to the Rear Admiral, four attacks from Jabhat al-Nusra in the province of Aleppo were recorded in the Idlib zone in the past 24 hours alone. As a result of a guided anti-tank missile hitting a vehicle of the Syrian Armed Forces, fired by terrorists, one Syrian soldier was killed, four more were injured.

As IA Regnum reported , the former deputy head of the Russian TsPVS, Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, said that Russia was concerned about the information received about the active preparation of suicide bombers for terrorist attacks against objects and patrols of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria.

Kulit called on the commanders of illegal armed groups to refrain from provocations and take the path of a peaceful settlement of the conflict. Otherwise, the Russian troops will take "the most decisive and tough measures against the militants" who are planning an attack on the Russian and Syrian military.

The report from Syrian news site Northern Press Agency:

Two HTS murderous Moslems were killed, and another was maimed in a mutual shelling between Syrian government force and the HTS in the countryside of Idlib, Aleppo, and Hama in the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria.

Although the de-escalation zone in northwest Syria is subject to a Russian-Ottoman Turkish ceasefire agreement signed in March 2020, the area witnesses frequent mutual bombardment despite the entry of the ceasefire into force.

In March 2020, Russia and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

reached an agreement in Moscow that stipulated a ceasefire, the establishment of a safe corridor, and the conduct of joint patrols on the M4/Aleppo-Latakia Highway.

Unless this is the attack in question — it’s hard to say. At any rate, it looks like Russian pilots have been busy:
