Interfax news agency quoted Oleg Gorinov, deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties in Syria, as saying that Russia carried out precision strikes on several targets near the city of Idlib in northwestern Syria.
According to Gorinov, the strikes were a response to “the militants attacking targets in the Syrian territory controlled by the government using drones.”
Last week, witnesses and rescuers said Russian jets bombed villages and towns near Idlib, killing at least nine people and wounding dozens, in a major escalation of violence inside the country’s last opposition bastion.
Gorinov said that the strikes destroyed an observation post and a weapons and ammunition depot, killing 18 militants.
