In the vicinity of the village of Zaytan, Idlib province, a group of Su-25 attack aircraft struck a cluster of militants of the Jebhat al-Nusra group. As a result of direct hits aviation bombs destroyed a tank, two armored vehicles and three vehicles with mortars mounted on them. The enemy suffered significant losses in manpower.
According to Igor Konashenkov, special attention is paid to strikes against oil refineries controlled by the militants. Several columns of fuel trucks and crude oil storage facilities were destroyed in the provinces of Racca and Deir ez-Zor.
It is noted that as a result of the air strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the militants on the Mkhin and El-Qaryatane routes were forced to give up their positions and move away to 4-6 km.
