Russia’s military said on Monday (August 13) it had shot down five drones that came close to Khmeimim air base and were launched from the Idlib “de-escalation” zone in the last 24 hours, TASS agency reported.
The five drones caused no casualties or damage, and the Khmeimim air base is operating as normal, the agency said.
On Sunday the Russian military said it had repelled two drone attacks “at a safe distance from the base.” On Saturday a drone, apparently carrying explosives, was downed on approach to Khmeimim.
Multiple attacks were conducted on the Khmeimin air base in the last months, some of the alleged attacks could reach the strategic air base, while most of similar attacks were repelled.
Most Russian warplanes took off from Khmeimim to carry out airstrikes on civilians in the opposition-held areas of Syria where massacres were reported to Assad militias recapture areas on the ground.
