Russian airstrikes target HTS groups in Syria, over 200 militants killed (Video)
The Russian army launched airstrikes on HTS groups in Syria, Russian and international media reported on Friday.
The Khmeimim Air Base stated that “the air force killed more than 200 militants from Jabhat al-Nusra and other factions in the past 24 hours.”
The escalation follows a major Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) incursion on Wednesday into several towns in northwestern Aleppo, areas under Syrian government control.
Originating from Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate, HTS is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by both the United States and Turkiye. The group has drawn international criticism for its tactics, including imposing taxes on local populations and targeting rival factions, further fueling extremism and instability in the region.
