3 Gas Stations in Syria were Targeted by Militants’ Artillery Shelling

The Ikhbariya broadcaster reported that emergency services had managed to contain the fire at the Al Rayan station. It said sound of the shelling could be heard in the cities of Latakia and Homs.

The situation in the country remains tense, as the army is clashing with militants in Idlib - the last stronghold of terrorists in Syria. The province is partially controlled by various factions of jihadists, including the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terror group.

The Syrian Army recently launched a major offensive after militants repeatedly violated the ceasefire. However, this has resulted in threats from Ankara, which claimed that the actions of Damascus pose a danger to the situation in the region after clashes led to the deaths of six Turkish servicemen.

Turkey sent its armed forces to the Syrian province, stating that its troops had "hit 54 targets in Idlib and neutralised 76 Syrian soldiers".
