On Sunday, September 15, DIU special forces from the “Chemist” group attacked a Russian base in Syria near Aleppo, where Russians were manufacturing and testing attack UAVs.

According to Ukrinform, the Kyiv Post reports this with reference to sources.

“Soldiers of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine from the “Chemist” group attacked a Russian military base in Syria on the morning of Sunday, September 15,” the report said.

It is noted that the operation took place on the southeastern outskirts of Aleppo.

It is known that Russian troops manufactured and tested strike UAVs at the base, and it was also used by the Russians to manufacture “camouflaged improvised explosive devices” whose warheads were stored at the position attacked by the DIU special forces.
