Drones attacked the Russian Khmeimim airbase on the night from Monday to Tuesday, reported the Syrian Telegram channel Sabereen News and OSINT researcher SyrianOSINT. The information was also confirmed by Russian z-blogger Oleg Blokhin, who accused the group «Hayat Tahrir al-Sham» of the attack, whose leader became the president of the transitional period in Syria. According to the blogger, the drone attack lasted more than an hour.
After the victory of the group «Hayat Tahrir al-Sham» in the civil war in Syria and the escape of the country's president Bashar Assad to Moscow, the fate of Russian bases in Syria became uncertain. Satellite footage and ship movement data show that Russia is evacuating weapons and military equipment from the bases.
Meanwhile, the agency Bloomberg reported the day before, citing sources, that «Moscow is close to concluding a deal with the new Syrian government, which will allow some military and weapons to remain in the country».
