“The Russian group concerned with interacting with the security units of the Syrian Armed Forces carried out a special operation in the town of Jassim in Daraa Governorate, southern Syria, to liquidate the ISIS terrorist fighters,” Igorov said in a press statement.
According to TASS, the fighters took part in the bus explosion last week that killed at least 18 Syrian soldiers close to Damascus.
Igorov claims that the bus attack’s mastermind and several individuals connected to ISIS operations in Daraa and the Al-Raqqa Governorate are among those killed in the operation.
The last bus attack was one of the bloody attacks targeting the Syrian army for months.
Notably, Russian military have been present in Syria since 2015.
