“According to a military source in Aleppo, the Russian air force inflicted dozens of air strikes on the province on Monday, attacking several jihadist targets, including the strategic base of the 46th regiment. The base of the 46th regiment was under the control of jihadist rebels, as they seized the object from another paramilitary group. The Russian air force also attacked border areas under the control of jihadists to prevent any militants from getting into militant groups inside Aleppo province. This latest Russian Air Force attack occurs at the same time that the Syrian Arab Army is completing preparations for a large-scale offensive in southern and western Aleppo. ”- Al Masdar News reports.

Experts believe that the air strikes could also be associated with an attempt to prevent terrorist counterattacks during the offensive operation of the Syrian government forces.
