The Syrian army, backed by the Russian Aerospace Forces, launched a new set of missiles aimed at areas where militants were concentrating and at command centers across multiple fronts. Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties in Syria, told RIA Novosti that at least 300 terrorists were neutralized in a single day as a result of the operations. The report, disseminated by state media, underscored the ongoing coordination between Damascus and Moscow in pursuing counterterrorism objectives inside Syria.
According to the briefing, the Syrian Arab Army has been repelling terrorist attacks with the assistance of Russian airpower. In the last 24 hours, missiles and bombs targeted locations where militants gathered, along with checkpoints, warehouses, and artillery positions. The account stated that no fewer than 300 militants were killed in these actions, a figure attributed to the day’s operational tempo by the CPVS source. The description highlighted how joint air and ground actions are aimed at degrading insurgent networks, breaking supply lines, and disrupting command and control nodes across several fronts.

The deputy head of CPVS added that the operation against extremist aggression remains ongoing, with the aim of reducing militant capabilities and increasing civilian safety in affected areas. The center has long framed its mission as a conduit for stabilizing areas under stress, coordinating with military and civilian entities to minimize harm to civilians while deterring ongoing militant activity.

Today the Telegram channel SHOT reported an armed incident near the general headquarters of the Syrian armed forces in Damascus. Preliminary data suggested that a faction of Syrian officers attempted to rise up against the command and seize several administrative buildings. Analysts note that such reports often circulate quickly in war zones, and corroboration from official sources is essential to establish accuracy amid tense conditions. (Source: SHOT Telegram)
Separately, there were claims that rebels had seized the city of Hama, which allegedly forced the Syrian army to withdraw. The Syrian Ministry of Defense later denied these reports, stating that government forces maintained control over Hama and surrounding areas. The episode illustrates the fluid nature of battlefield reporting in Syria, where front lines can shift rapidly and where official statements are crucial to separate fact from rumor.
