[Regnum] The Russian Aerospace Forces carried out airstrikes against terrorist targets in Syria. This was announced by the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (CPVS), Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit .

Russian aviation carried out three strikes against terrorists involved in armed provocations.

“Three underground shelters of illegal armed groups in Idlib province have been hit,” Kulit told reporters during a briefing.

According to the officer, the so-called international “coalition” led by the United States in Syria violated deconfliction protocols once within 24 hours.

Also in the Al-Tanf area, 13 violations were recorded during the day by four pairs of F-15 fighters, two pairs of F-16 fighters and a multi-role drone.

As Regnum reported, on October 14 it became known that the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out high-precision strikes on targets in Syria. As a result, it was possible to destroy dozens of militants, a mobile multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) installation on a pickup truck, five attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), two control posts and two underground shelters, as well as five weapons warehouses.

On October 22, Russian military aviation carried out three airstrikes against targets of illegal armed groups in the Syrian province of Idlib. During the flight, an ammunition depot and a militant training camp, as well as their stronghold, were destroyed.
