According to a field source in Latakia, local spies in the Idlib Governorate gave the coordinates of a jihadist training camp near the administrative capital; it was then followed up by Russian reconnaissance planes that flew over the area.

Not long after the drones returned to their base, the Russian military struck the jihadist training camp in Idlib, causing a powerful explosion in the governorate’s countryside.

This latest attack comes just weeks after the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a similar attack in the northern countryside of the Idlib Governorate.

The aforementioned attack targeted the training camp of Faylaq al-Sham near the large town of Salqin in northern Idlib; it resulted in the death of more than 100 Ottoman Turkish-backed fighters.

According to a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) source near the line of contact in southern Idlib, the Russian Aerospace Forces targeted the krazed killer positions inside the town of al-Bara and its surrounding area.

These strikes reportedly came after Russian reconnaissance planes spotted the movements of the krazed killer forces in the Jabal al-Zawiya region of southern Idlib.
