Konflikten i Syrien

Myndigheterna i den ryska delrepubliken Tjetjenien har inlett brottsundersökningar mot närmare 300 personer som stridit för terrorgruppen Islamiska staten, rapporterar nyhetsbyrån Interfax.
Hittills har 293 rättsfall inletts mot 311 individer.

Iran Calls for Halt to West's Support for Terrorists in Syria

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian called for a change in the West's approach towards the terrorists fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and a halt to the western countries' financial and logistical support for the militants.

"Tehran believes that the Syrian crisis cannot be settled thru military options," Amir Abdollahian said.

For the first time a Russian infantry backed by T-90 tanks and Russian Air Force SU-25M stormed the Syrian Takfeery opposition between Latakia and Idlib countryside’s, capturing a strategic hill after five hours of fierce battle resulting in no casualties among the attacking forces.


A high ranking source said ” the Russian live manoeuver required the use of 130mm artillery battalion backed by a heavy air bombardment to the hill before the advance of the infantry as a test of the troops’ readiness and to raise the efficiency of engagement of the Russian forces in further battles on the Syrian soil against terrorists. Russia is also showing the real evolution and strength of its troops that did not participate in real battle for many years. The Syrian forces and allies provided only logistic support without participating to the battle as requested by the Russian officers. Many terrorists were killed and left behind in the battlefield.”
