The Russian jets flying out of the Humeimim Military Airbase began their attack by launching airstrikes over the towns of Abu Dali and al-Mosheirefeh.

The Russian airstrikes were followed by a large-scale raid on the Northern Hama towns of Al-Latamina and Kafr Zita, which are the future targets of the Syrian Army’s offensive.

In the coming days, the Syrian Army is expected to begin a long-awaited offensive to retake the Hama-Idlib axis from the militants.

Relevant reports said that the Russian Air Force targeted the headquarters of Al-Nusra Front in Northeastern Hama, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.

The warplanes destroyed the entire Al-Nusra facility in Northeastern Hama, killing at least 13 terrorists that were inside the building.

A field commander of Iraqi descent was among the militants killed in Russian air raid.

The bombing took place near the strategic town of al-Rahjan, which is also considered the Al-Nusra's main stronghold in the region.
