Russia repels missile attack by militants on its main airbase in Syria’s Latakia

Tehran (KNA) - The Russian Defense Ministry says its surface-to-air missile systems have managed to foil an attack by militants from the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorist group, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, on its main air base in Syria's western coastal province of Latakia.

The ministry announced in a statement on Monday that militants positioned in the de-escalation zone of Syria's northwestern province of Idlib had fired six missiles at the strategic Hmeimim airbase at around 8 p.m. (1700 GMT) the previous day.
