Syrian government forces made gains against terrorist groups in Latakia Province, in the west of Syria close to the border with Turkey, Fars News reported.
“The Syrian Army alongside the country’s National Defense Forces (NDF) on Wednesday continued pushing back the militant groups in Latakia province and restored full security to at least five more key regions in the Northern part of the coastal province.”
The government forces regained control of several high points and hills in the region, killing many militants in the process, Fars reported.
