The Russian Air Force stepped up their airstrikes over the northern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate tonight, targeting Jabhat Al-Nusra’s (Syrian Al-Qaeda group) defenses at the strategic village of Haritan in the ‘Anadan Plains.

On Monday, Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said during his press conference that the Russian Air Force will increase its aerial activity over the Aleppo Governorate in response to the jihadist rebel aggression these past few weeks.

Not long after Lavrov issued his statement, the Russian Air Force intensified their airstrikes over the Aleppo Governorate, hitting several targets in the north and south.
