Russian aviation launched a series of missile and bomb strikes against militants of the Islamic Party of Turkestan (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). This large bandit formation is an association of radicals from all over Central Asia, especially there are many immigrants from Uzbekistan. All of them are striving to "revive the great caliphate," which will also include the North Caucasus and the Volga region.
The presented footage shows how Russian ammunition hit the militants' base, destroying manpower and fortifications. A barracks, a warehouse, a security post and other structures at the indicated object came under fire.
At the same time, Syrian government forces launched a series of heavy artillery strikes on militant positions near Jebel Zawiya in the southern part of Idlib province. This happened after the attack of the militants, as a result of which the SAA servicemen were injured.
