The Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed a large column of ISIS trucks and vehicles near the ISIS-held town of Uqayribat in the eastern Hama countryside.
Russian warplanes have increased the number of airstrikes in the area as government forces have launched another push in order to recapture Uqayribat located at an important road linking up Salamiyah and the T4 Airbase.
According to pro-government forces General Suheil Al-Hassan, Commander of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces, had visited frontlines in eastern Hama before the start of the operation. This may indicate that this push to capture Uqayribat may be more prepared and coordinated than the previous attempts and may lead to a success.
