Russian army storms Idlib, preparing a large-scale offensive.

Currently, the entire area south of the M4 highway in the Syrian province of Idlib is controlled by pro-Turkish troops and groups. It was this part that was bombed by several Russian air raids. A source in the Russian news agency Avipro claims that in recent years there has been a large concentration of flights by Russian Tu-23M bombers in the area.

Information has emerged [unconfirmed – ed.] that Turkey has begun deliveries of missiles and ammunition through military convoys sent from Ankara. Some experts suggest that the future offensive will only aim to bring the entire M4 highway under full control by the Syrian Arab Army.

The Syrian civil war has been going on for almost a decade. Attempts by movements such as the Syrian Democratic Forces to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have failed.
