Russia reinforces military base in northeast Syria

Damascus, Aug 11 (Prensa Latina) Russian forces have increased their deployment at Qamishli Airport in northeastern Syria in recent weeks, through expansion works and improvements to its facilities, local sources reported, cited by Syria TV.

According to the report, the work includes the rehabilitation of the land to facilitate the parking and operation of aircraft, as well as the expansion of accommodation areas for soldiers and officers in buildings in front of the main terminal building.

Images obtained by Syria TV show the reinforcement of the security perimeter around the aircraft, the installation of radars, the erection of barricades, the widening of the access gate, and the raising of the Russian flag over the airport.

According to the source, two cargo planes maintain regular flights between Qamishli and the Russian Hmeimim air base, transporting personnel, logistical materials, and military equipment.

These operations are usually carried out in the early morning or early evening to avoid media attention.

The number of Russian troops at the facility had decreased compared to previous stages, but Moscow resumed reinforcing troops and positions a month ago.
