The Russian Coordination Center in Syria announced that Russian air forces have been actively supporting the Syrian army in its operations against terrorist groups.

Iran Press/West Asia: According to the center, approximately 200 terrorists were reported killed in various operations conducted within the last 24 hours as part of this military campaign.

This announcement comes amid escalating tensions in the region, particularly with a recent offensive by Turkish-backed rebel forces targeting the city of Aleppo. The Russian military has claimed that its airstrikes are aimed at repelling these extremist attacks, which they describe as a significant threat to Syrian sovereignty.

Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center, stated, "The operation to repel the aggression of the extremists continues," highlighting Moscow's commitment to supporting President Bashar al-Assad's regime against what they label as terrorist factions.

However, reports indicate that Russia's ability to counter the rebel offensive effectively may be hampered by a diversion of its military resources to Ukraine, raising questions about the sustainability of its operations in Syria23. Local sources have noted a reduction in Russian air force presence and capability, suggesting that ongoing conflicts elsewhere may limit Moscow's effectiveness in Syria.

As the situation develops, both regional and international observers are closely monitoring Russia's military strategies and their implications for the ongoing civil war in Syria.
