For the third day in a row, helicopters of the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) pounded militants’ positions in the northern Lattakia countryside.
The Syrian observatory for Human Rights (SHOR) reported that Syrian helicopters carried out on September 25 several airstrikes on the strategic town of Kabani in the region.
“So far, there are no information of any human losses [as a result of the airstrikes],” the London-based monitoring group said in a report.
Kabani is occupied by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), Horas al-Din and so-called Ajnad al-Kavkaz (AK). The terrorists are using the town as base to launch rocket and armed drones on the Russian Hmeimim airbase and civilian areas on the Syrian coast.
Last week, the northern Lattakia countryside witnessed high-tension when HTS deployed fresh reinforcements around Kabani.
The resumption of aerial attacks on militants’ positions in northern Lattakia was likely a response to HTS’ aggressive behavior, which is a violation of the Sochi agreement reach last year.
