Russia’s air force struck Aleppo, Syria, killing over 300 insurgents after an offensive by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the largest since 2020. The Islamist group seized Aleppo airport and parts of Idlib province, challenging government forces. Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed supporting President Bashar al-Assad with airstrikes targeting rebel positions. Clashes have left Aleppo in chaos, with critical infrastructure, including Aleppo University, damaged. Assad remains in Russia during the crisis. The rebels, designated terrorists by multiple nations, pose a significant threat to Assad's regime. Aleppo, Syria’s former largest city, had been under government control since 2016 but now faces renewed conflict.
