The Russian Air Force carried out a powerful series of airstrikes over the Idlib countryside on Tuesday, hitting several jihadist targets near the Turkish border while the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their assault in northern Latakia.

According to an Al-Masdar field correspondent that cited an exclusive source from the Syrian Air Defense, the Russian fighter jets specifically targeted Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham’s headquarters near the town of Sheikh Bahar, destroying much of the jihadist installation in western Idlib.

The Al-Masdar correspondent added that this Ahrar Al-Sham base near Sheikh Bahar is their largest installation in northern Syria.
