Militants launched a new attack on the Russian military airbase "Hmeymim."

A few hours ago, social networks reported that the Russian military airbase Hmeimim was again attacked by terrorists from the Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham group. According to the data presented, the attack was carried out with the use of drones.

Despite the militants' new attempt to attack the Russian air base in the province of Latakia, the attack was successfully repulsed by the Russian air defense systems, but analysts say that the fact of new terrorist attacks indicates the need to continue striking their positions.

The exact number of drones that took part in the attack on the Russian military airbase "Khmeimim" is still unknown - according to some sources, the militants used five drones, according to others - nine aircraft.

It should be clarified that after a series of attacks by the Russian Aerospace Forces on terrorist positions, part of the multiple launch rocket systems previously used for missile attacks on the Khmeimim base was destroyed, as a result of which MLRS attacks on a Russian military airfield temporarily ceased.
