Five Syrian government forces have been killed in an attack by a dissident group of militants in the province of Aleppo, according to the head of the Russian Centre for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit.
The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, when the militant group launched a surprise attack on a Syrian government military base in the province. The militants managed to breach the base’s defences and were able to inflict significant damage before they were eventually repelled by the Syrian forces.
The attack has been condemned by the Russian government, with Rear Admiral Kulit calling it a “cowardly act of aggression”. He also praised the Syrian forces for their bravery in defending the base, saying that they had “shown great courage and determination in the face of the enemy”.
The attack is the latest in a series of clashes between the Syrian government and dissident forces in the region. The Syrian government has been battling a number of armed groups in the province for several years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.
The incident has highlighted the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the region. The Russian government has been working to broker a peace deal between the Syrian government and the opposition, and Rear Admiral Kulit has urged both sides to come to the negotiating table in order to end the violence.
The attack in Aleppo is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those living in the region. It is essential that a peaceful resolution is found, and that all sides work together to ensure that such violence is not repeated. Only then can the people of Syria have the peace and security they deserve.
