Russia’s Defense Ministry has denied allegations by terrorist groups that a Russian helicopter was shot down in Lattakia countryside.
All Russian aircraft in Syria “are at their bases or involved in routine missions,” a spokesperson from the Coordination Center at Hmeimim airbase said. “Claims made by terrorist-controlled media sources about a Russian helicopter allegedly being shot down have nothing to do with reality.”
Earlier in the day, terrorists from the Ahrar al-Sham organization claimed that they downed a military helicopter near the village of Salma in the countryside of Lattakia.
