Syrian government forces have
liberated a strategic mountainous region in the country’s coastal
western province of Latakia from foreign-sponsored militants.
On
Wednesday, Syrian army troops backed by fighters from allied popular
forces established control over the al-Nuba Mountains, which are located
to the north of the port city of Latakia, following intense clashes
with terrorists, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported.
The report added that a number of militant bases were destroyed during the mop-up operations.
On
Tuesday, Syrian military helicopters took off from the Kwairis air base
in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo after Syrian army forces broke a
two-year militant siege on the site last month.

of the Airport General Munzer Zammam said the base has resumed its
operations, praising Syrian troops for defending Kwairis since it was
captured by Daesh terrorists in 2013.
Takfiri Daesh militants
seized control of Kwairis in late 2013 after months of encircling the
camp. The wide-scale operation to retake the base started last October
with Syrian troops making sporadic advances against militants under the
air cover provided by Russian fighter jets.
The foreign-sponsored
conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has claimed the lives of
more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured, according to
the United Nations.
The world body says 12.2 million people,
including more than 5.6 million children, remain in need of humanitarian
assistance. The foreign-sponsored militancy has displaced 7.6 million
people.
