Approx 400 militants killed as Syrian Army, backed by Russian forces, crush terrorist attacks

Militants linked to the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra launched attacks on Syrian government-controlled areas in Aleppo and Idlib provinces, Russian officials confirmed.

"Starting at 7:50 a.m. on November 27, illegal armed groups associated with the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra attacked the territory controlled by the Syrian government," said Captain 1st Rank Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria.

In response, the Syrian Army, backed by the Russian Aerospace Forces, engaged in fierce battles that have inflicted heavy losses on the attackers. "At least 400 militants have been destroyed," Ignasyuk noted.

Footage shared by Syrian media captured the moment an alleged Russian airstrike hit an assembly point where terrorists were preparing an attack on Tell Rifaat - this has not been fully verified.
