This information was published by the Turkish agency Anadolu, referring to the fake page of the Russian aviation base Hamim on social networks. The Defense Ministry said that the Russian base "Hmeymim" does not have sites and pages in social networks, and all information is published on the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
