Special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense conducted a comprehensive strike on a Russian base in Syria on July 25, the Kyiv Post reported, citing sources.
The military intelligence's special unit Khimik struck Russian military equipment at the Kuweires airfield, located east of Aleppo and occupied by Russian forces, NV's sources in the HUR confirmed.
The Kyiv Post published a video showing a Russian electronic warfare mobile complex being destroyed, followed by drones attacking Russian military facilities at the airfield.
The Defense Intelligence conducted the attack a day after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on July 24.
The Kuweires airfield has been controlled and used by Russian forces for military purposes since 2015.
An unnamed Ukrainian intelligence source told the Kyiv Post that the facility has also been used to train and send foreign mercenaries to fight against Ukraine.
The Kyiv Post previously showed a video on June 3 of Ukrainian HUR special forces and Syrian rebels killing Russian mercenaries in Syria.
According to a video from March 2024 obtained by the editorial office, the HUR Khimik special unit, along with the Syrian opposition, attacked Russian soldiers fighting on the side of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
