Situation in Syria
The VKS RF struck at the positions of the radicals in the Ain-Tarma and Zamalka neighborhoods in the north-east of Damascus; attacked the positions of the IG (the group is banned in the Russian Federation) near As-Sukhny in the east of the province of Homs.
In the area of Eastern Guta in the north-east of the capital, clashes continued between pro-Assad Shiite militias and militants of armed opposition groups. The SAR army allies managed to occupy a number of fortified posts at the Jude Al-Qabbas bridge in the Ain Tarma district. The fighting continued in Jobar.
In the north of the province of Aleppo, clashes between Kurds and units of the "Syrian Free Army" supported by Turkey continued. Battles were recorded on the outskirts of the cities of Mari, Kaljrin, Kafr Hasher and Azaz, as well as near the village of Kafr Kalbin.
Syrian troops closed the road to Afrin to the north-west of Aleppo and arrested several Kurdish fighters near the village of Nubl Zahra.
The Western coalition has attacked drone pro-Assad detachments near the checkpoint "At-Tanf" (Homs province). As noted in the coalition, the drone posed a threat to US allies.
During the day, Hezbollah forces, together with government units and with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, fought with the radicals of the “free army” to the west of the provincial capital Dar'a near military air defense bases. Several times, the militants repelled the attacks of the allies of the SAR army, but, as a result, lost ground. In addition, Al-Sailia Hill was liberated west of Dar'a Al-Balad.
The “democratic forces” of the Kurds advanced in the city of Rakka and its surroundings, having beaten off the ammunition depot and the Al-Khol market in the administrative center of the province from the IG fighters. In the afternoon, Kurdish units captured the village of Shuvaykhan, north of the town of Resapha, under the control of the allied CAA formations.
To the east of Raqqa in the village of Maadan, the Kurds arrested 10 people accused of forming IG "sleeping cells".
