MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with forces loyal to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad fighting against numerous opposition and extremist groups.
"According to information received from civilians and opposition forces, Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist grouping continues concentrating its forces in north-eastern regions of the Latakia province," the ministry said in a daily bulletin posted on its website on Monday.
According to the document, Russia is also forming humanitarian convoys to camps for internally displaced people in Latakia, as well as to citizens of two settlements in the Syrian Hama province.
