DAMASCUS, SYRIA (9:30 P.M.) – Missiles fires by rebel fighters in northern Latakia countryside on Hmeymim airbase were successfully intercepted by Russian air defenses as the government forces gain ground across the war-torn country.
The missile attack was preceded by an attempt by rebels to attack the coastal airbase with an armed drone, which was also shot down.
This comes days after the Islamist militants in Latakia northern countryside launched a surprise attack on Syrian Army positions, killing and injuring several troops.
