TEHRAN (FNA)- The Russian fighter jets carried out several combat flights over the defense lines of the militant groups North of Aleppo and targeted them heavily in a move to provide aerial coverage for the massive operation of the government forces' near Nubl and al-Zahra.

The Russian air fleet bombed the militant groups' positions near the town of Hayyan over eight times, inflicting major losses on the terrorists' logistic and military hardware.



The Russian jets, meantime, targeted the militant groups' concentration center inside and outside of the town of Haraytan at least two times, which ended in the destruction of the terrorists military grid.

Both Hayyan and Haraytan enjoy logistic importance for the militant groups operating in Nubl and al-Zahra battlefields.

Reports said earlier today that militant groups are evacuating all villages and areas near the towns of Nubl and al-Zahra as the Syrian army, Hezbollah and popular forces continue to gain ground in nearby areas.

Field sources said the Syrian army and its allies' victories in the last 72 hours have forced the terrorist groups, including Nouriddeen al-Zinki movement (al-Nusra affiliated) to withdraw from their positions near the towns of Nubl and al-Zahra to evade more casualties.
