Second day heavy artillery strikes in Syria. Russia blames Turkey
DAMASCUS, Russian media report on the second day of heavy
artillery strikes in the area of Idlib, learned BulgarianMilitary.com, citing
Aviapro. The agency claims that despite the meeting between Russian President
Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ankara
continues to disregard the agreement in Syria. This has led to the use of
Syrian artillery to attack positions of pro-Turkish military units.
According to the Russian news agency, the Syrian Arab Army
[SAA] is using the Multiple Launch Rocket System [MLRS] BM-21 Grad, BM-27
Uragan and 9A52-4 Tornado, which have destroyed the positions of the jihadists.
Syrian sources claim that as a result of the artillery strikes, much of the
equipment available to pro-Turkish troops were destroyed. There is no official
information on the number of victims on both sides.
Our field source reports that today the Syrian army has
stopped the offensive in Idlib, but continues with the bombing. According to
him, the intensity of artillery strikes is increasing. Air support is expected
from the Russian Air Force, which has just such a practice – to support the
ground offensive by air.
