The Syrian Arab Army has begun countering the intense assault launched by armed militant groups in the Aleppo and Idlib countrysides since dawn on Wednesday, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent. Syrian forces have inflicted heavy losses on the militants, killing at least 400.

The correspondent reported that the Syrian Arab Army has launched a counteroffensive targeting positions seized by the armed groups in southeastern Idlib.

At least 400 terrorist militants linked to Jabhat al-Nusra were killed during their attack on SAA positions in the Aleppo and Idlib countrysides on November 27, according to Oleg Yegnasiyuk, Deputy Head of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria.

In a press conference, Yegnasiyuk confirmed that the terrorist groups suffered heavy losses in both personnel and equipment while attacking the SAA. He noted that the Syrian army is "fighting fiercely, supported by the Russian Air Force."
