Al-Qamishly Airport | Russian forces conduct new military exercises

 

Al-Hasakah: SOHR activists reported hearing loud sound of an explosion in al-Qamishly city in al-Hasakh province, that is likely was caused by a new round of military exercises by the Russian forces that are stationed in al-Qamishly Airport. Life ammunition, artillery weapons and projectors were likely used in the exercises.

On November 9, SOHR activists reported hearing explosions in al-Qamishly city due to military exercises by the Russian forces stationed in al-Qamishly Airport as part of the ongoing escalating manoeuvres and activities that have been conducting since the media channels reported an anticipated Turkish military operation targeting north and east Syria.

It is worth noting the al-Qamishly Airport is used by the Russians and hosts at least four helicopters and a recently brought-in military warplane with the beginning of the exercises.
