Syrian army advances in Latakia, Aleppo

Syrian government troops continue to gain more ground against foreign-backed terrorists in northern areas.

The army is steadily marching on Azaz border crossing with Turkey, and has now recaptured Ahras, a Kurdish village, north of Aleppo.

In the neighboring Latakia province, government forces backed by Russian air cover, established control over two more villages.

Yesterday, the army and National Defense Forces restored security to nearly a dozen villages and captured a series of strategic hills in northern and northeastern parts of the same province.

Government troops have dealt heavy blows to the ISIL and Nusra Front terrorists in recent weeks, purging the militants from many areas in Syria’s northern belt.

Army makes fresh gains across Syria

The army backed by Russian airstrikes liberated two strategic areas in the east and north of provincial capital Aleppo.

lsewhere in the north of Latakia province and the east of Homs, Syrian troops dealt heavy blows to the terrorists and seized a large amount of explosive material.

The army has stepped up its fight after international attempts to broker a peace deal failed, with the Saudi-backed opposition refusing to speak directly to the Syrian government.
