Russian
battle group in Mediterranean ready to launch strikes on militants
near Aleppo – source

November, 2016
The
Russian naval group in the Mediterranean, headed by the Admiral
Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, is preparing an offensive against
militants on the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria, according to reports
citing a source in the Defense Ministry.
Jets
from the Admiral Kuznetsov, the Peter the Great battle cruiser and
other military ships in the battle group equipped with precision
weapons will take part in the operation, Interfax and Gazeta.ru
reported on Tuesday, citing a source in Russia’s Defense Ministry.
The
strikes will be launched "in the nearest hours" and will
target the distant outskirts of Aleppo, the source said, adding that
there are no civilian-populated areas nearby.
The
reported operation is aimed at preventing more militants from
entering the city, which has become a terrorist stronghold in Syria,
Interfax quoted its source as saying.
The
most advanced weapons, including Caliber cruise missiles, might be
used, Gazeta.ru reported. The missiles will probably be launched from
Russian submarines that could also be in the area, it added.
Ahead
of the battle group’s arrival into the waters close to Syria,
Russia increased its reconnaissance in the region, the source said.
Drones and radio intelligence, as well as data gathering from
satellites have reportedly been intensified, allowing the exact
locations of the terrorists to be determined, as well as their
planned routes to break into Aleppo.
The
Russian and Syrian Air Forces have not launched airstrikes on
militants in and near Aleppo since October 18. Terrorists have used
the humanitarian pause to try to fortify their positions and
strengthen their presence in northern Syria, Russian military
officials have warned.

Insurgents in east Aleppo doomed as the Syrian Army expands
bufferzone around the city

Islamist
factions in rebel-held eastern Aleppo have little hope of salvation
after the Syrian Arab Army's (SAA) Tiger Forces and Hezbollah made
a highly
significant advance on
the northwestern perimeter of Aleppo city yesterday.
With
Syrian government troops continuing
the offensive today,
their forces have expanded the buffer-zone in western Aleppo
considerably. Effectively, 3 kilometers now sets besieged rebel-held
districts in eastern Aleppo apart from Jaish al-Fateh's regions west
of the city.
