The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the mercenaries of the "Al-Fateh Al-Mubeen Operations Room" managed this morning to shoot down an explosively loaded reconnaissance plane, likely to be Russian, in the airspace of Benin Forest in Jabal Al-Zawiya in the southern countryside of Idlib, after targeting it with heavy machine guns.

The Syrian Observatory also monitored the crash of a reconnaissance plane as a result of a technical defect in the atmosphere of the Al-Haddadah axis in Jabal Al-Akrad in the northern countryside of Lattakia.

In the same context, government forces continue their missile strikes on towns and villages within Jabal al-Zawiya, in addition to shelling targeting axes within Jabal al-Akrad, north of Latakia.

After midnight on Saturday-Sunday, government forces carried out missile strikes on areas in Al-Fatira, Kansafra, Sufuhn, Falifel, and Al-Halba in the southern countryside of Idlib, and the villages of Tadil and Al-Qasr in the western countryside of Aleppo, in addition to the Al-Ankawi axis in Ghab Plain northwest of Hama.
