Earlier this week, Major General Oleg Egorov stated that terrorists from Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic Party of Turkestan are planning to carry out attacks against the Russian Hmeimim Airbase in Syria using offensive and kamikaze drones.

Egorov said that the militants belonging to both terrorist groups have already prepared a large number of drones in workshops in the Khirbet Al-Joz region that are now ready to carry out the attack.

Earlier in September, the Russian Reconciliation Centre for Syria stated that more than 45 militants of Al-Nusra Front terrorist group were killed in a Russian airstrike in Syria's Idlib province.
