The vicinity of Hmeimim military airport witnessed a sudden attack this morning by an armed group on the Russian base, resulting in intense clashes involving the use of firearms between the attackers and the base's defenders.
The clashes led to the disruption of exams in several villages surrounding the airport. Additionally, the electronic interference carried out by the Russian base caused communication services in the area to be disrupted, increasing anxiety among the residents.
In response to the attack, Russian helicopters conducted intensive aerial patrols to secure the base perimeter and sweep the adjacent areas amid heightened security alert.
Although the situation has relatively calmed down after the confrontations, sporadic clashes continue from time to time, accompanied by military movements and ongoing handling of aerial threats, especially drones.
The region remains on high alert as Russian forces seek to tighten control and prevent any further escalation that may jeopardize the security stability around the base.
