In Syria, rebel armed groups entered the territory of Tartus and Jablebla, but did not touch the Russian military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim. This was reported to TASS today, December 9, by a source in the Syrian province.
"Since yesterday, the opposition has been in full control of the province of Latakia, including the cities of Tartus and Jebla. The armed forces of the opposition have not invaded and do not intend to invade the territory of Russian military bases that are functioning normally," he said.
According to the interlocutor of the agency, on the afternoon of December 8, militants were in the center of Dzhebla and fired into the air, but they did not threaten the Russian military.
As EADaily reported, the Syrian army did not resist the Islamist groups and Turkish proxies that launched a large-scale offensive in the northern provinces of Aleppo and Idlib on November 27. By the evening of December 7, opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had already captured several major cities almost without a fight. On the morning of December 8, they entered Damascus, after which the units of the Syrian army left the capital. Assad himself and his family flew to Moscow, where he asked for political asylum.
