  • Syrian troops advance on several fronts against Takfiri terrorists

Syrian army soldiers and their allies have managed to wrest control of several areas across the country as they press ahead with their counterterrorism operations.

The Syrian forces advanced in Eastern Ghouta in the countryside of Damascus on Sunday, the Arabic-language Syria Now news website reported.

It further noted that the Syrian army fully retook a strategic air base in southern Aleppo, inflicting heavy losses on Takfiri elements.

Army units also established control over a number of farms in Syria’s southwestern town of Khan al-Shih and Zakia on the edge of Damascus.

Meanwhile, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that the Syrian air force destroyed places of gathering and vehicles belonging to terrorists and killed many of them in al-Ameriya, Tal Dahab, al-Rastan and elsewhere around al-Shaer Gas Field in Homs countryside.

A Syrian army unit also destroyed a militant hideout and killed several terrorists in al-Naziheen camp and al-Abbassiya neighborhood in the southwestern province of Dara’a.

In another development on Sunday, a blast rocked a market in the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakah, leaving a number of people dead and injured, the state TV reported.
