Russian Air Force transport aircraft have reportedly resumed regular flights to the Khmeimim Air Base in Syria, Orda.kz reports, citing Bloomberg.
The media cited flight-tracking data from Flightradar24, writes The Insider.
Between October 24 and 29, a heavy transport plane An-124 Ruslan was recorded landing at the Syrian base three times. On October 26, an Il-62M flew from Libya to Syria before returning to the Moscow region, Bloomberg claimed.
A source close to the Kremlin told Bloomberg that Russian military flights to Syria have indeed restarted.
Before this development, high-level talks, including presidential, were held between the two nations.
The future of Russia’s two leased military facilities in Latakia has been uncertain since the fall of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, once a key ally of Moscow.
At the time, several reports emerged that Russia was winding down its forces in the region.
Earlier this year, Reuters reported — citing its own sources — that Israel had quietly lobbied Washington to preserve the Russian presence in Syria, aiming to limit Turkish influence in the region. Claims have also recently surfaced that Damascus expressed interest in resuming patrols by Russian military police in Syria’s southern provinces.
