Our fighters launched a large-range attack on terrorist positions, killing several of them and causing material damage to the equipment.
The terrorists attacked again, taking advantage of the cover provided by the area, trying to hide and move on among the trees.
They came close to the positions of our forces, but the vigilance of our fighters dwarfed the attack and after violent clashes a number of enemies were killed.
The coalition’s jets also destroyed a tunnel used by terrorists, and it was not known whether terrorists were inside it or not.
